Seville Quarter

Seville Quarter has occupied this Government Street block since 1871, when the main building housed the Pensacola Cigar and Tobacco Co.; just blocks from the docks, it sat at the edge of the city's red-light district, and its second floor may have served that trade unofficially into the 1930s. Its best-known ghost is Wesley Gibbs, a doorman and bartender who suffered a fatal heart attack in the beer cooler in 1990 at just 27 years old and wasn't found for hours. Staff describe him continuing to play harmless pranks: flipping on lights, triggering the men's room hand dryers, and general mischief, along with distant voices, laughter, and an uneasy feeling reported by guests over the years.
