        POP:Murals is a community initiative of the UWF Historic Trust to display historically significant photographic murals throughout downtown Pensacola for residents and tourists of all ages to learn about the illustrious history of our great city.

        The L&N Passenger Station at Blount Building (1 Palafox Place). The L&N Passenger station, built circa 1881, stood at the northeast corner of Tarragona and Wright streets. In 1898, the station welcomed Colonel Theodore Roosevelt and one-hundred and seventy of his Rough Riders en route to the Spanish-American War. In 1913, this station was replaced with the new L&N Depot located at Wright and Alcaniz streets. Sponsored by the Switzer Family.
