The Marzoni House, built in 1890 for Louis D. Marzoni, son of Antonio Marzoni, a newspaperman who ran "The Florida Democrat and mechanic's and workingman's advocate" and Pensacola Observer which ran from 1846 to 1856[2] and fought on the American Civil War.
Louis D. Marzoni, born in 1856, ran a grocery store in Pensacola and worked for a lumber company. He later started a shipping firm, Smith & Marzoni. The house he had built was a model of Queen Anne style.[1] He built the house with old-growth heart pine like the export product from Pensacola. The Marzoni House has twelve foot ceilings and a plethora of custom built detail work and a corner octagonal tower. Very little of the house has been rebuilt.[3]
