Pensacola: Palafox Historic District: Empire BuildingThe central business district of old Pensacola focused on Palafox Street. Here, ladies shopped and visited while men conducted business. The Empire Building is commonly known as Seville Tower.

The entrance to the building on Palafox Place is typical of the Chicago School Design with its creative ornamentation above the door on the spandrels (horizontal divisions between windows) and on the cornice.
