About this file

This is an Architectural Review Board Application for the City of Pensacola involving Escambia County Facilities Management. The project involves replacing east-facing glass windows at two county buildings: the Escambia County Tax Collector's Office (Ordon's/Orvis Building) and the Escambia County Supervisor of Elections office (Matt Bell Building), both located at 213 Palafox Place in Pensacola's Palafox Historic Business District. The scope of work is limited to replacing existing glass with new energy-efficient glass while maintaining the existing window frames and the buildings' exterior appearance. The application was submitted on December 15, 2025, by Escambia County Facilities Management (applicant contact: mebush@myescambia.com, 850-554-3063) on behalf of the Escambia County Board of County Commissioners as property owner. The project received approval as a "Board for Board Review" on December 15, 2025, with the determination that the scope of work is appropriate for design purposes only and does not require changes to existing window frames or building exterior aesthetics.

The approval is conditional upon the scope of work described and any variations will require additional approval from the Planning Services Staff or the Architectural Review Board. The applicant should be aware that while this approval addresses design appropriateness only, compliance with other City of Pensacola codes and ordinances may be required. The City Inspection Services (850-436-5600) is available to address questions regarding code compliance. The application notes that vendors should attend a pre-bid meeting to verify the specific windows to be replaced, as only a portion of the east-facing windows will be included in the replacement project.
