Huge Historical Mansion for Groups Downtown Pensacola 1 Block from Palafox St

Travel back in time in your own private historical mansion! Wine & dine your guests in good old fashioned style right in the heart of historical downtown Pensacola just one block off Palafox St. This beautiful 4400 sqft Victorian home boasts 6 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, 2 dining areas, a grand lobby, a proper parlor, and a comfortable TV room. Unique features such as soaring 11 foot ceilings, original stained glass windows and an ornate grand wood staircase.

The space
One of Pensacola’s architecturally significant Victorian homes. The house construction initiated in 1902 by Steamboat Captain James M. Flynn and was completed around 1904 when the Thomas W. Brent, Jr. family moved in. Over the years it has also served as a hotel, bed-and-breakfast, advertising agency, and more. Previously featured in Southern Living Magazine. While this home has served many roles throughout its history, most of the charming historic details remain intact today. This includes the ornate wooden staircase in the foyer, 7 original fireplaces each with a unique hand carved wooden mantel. A favorite detail are the stunning stained glass windows throughout the house!

Location highlights
You’re in the heart of historic downtown Pensacola, one block to Palafox St: coffee, restaurants, bars, galleries, and the Saturday Palafox Market.

What a beautiful, historical place. Every room was beautiful and we saw something new every time we entered a room. The stain glass pieces were stunning and the crystal glimmered in each room. The location was perfect. We walked to Gallery Night and to The Palafox Market. Great restaurants are within walking distance. We had a perfect weekend staycation

The inside was very beautiful and well-supplied. I would stay here again especially for a special occasion. It's a good location to downtown, I-110 access as well as getting to the 3-Mile Bay Bridge. Parking was enough even for our event. We enjoyed learning the history of the home. There was enough space to gather together and in different areas of the home. It was truly an experience staying in this beautifully appointed home. Evidence of exterior work being done was around, but no one interrupted us while we were there.
