Site of First Telephone Exchange
On September 1, 1880, Southern Bell Telephone Company established a telephone exchange on this site serving 31 telephones. More about the Seville Tower: The United States Weather Bureau and the first Pensacola-based wireless telephone station originally occupied the top floor. The exterior has not been modified since construction was completed, except for the addition of the fire stairwells at the north and east sides of the building. The building was designed by J.E.R. Carpenter and constructed by Selden Breck Construction Co. of St Louis. The architecture is considered Sullivanesque. In 1978, the building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
