East Intendencia Street
East Intendencia Street is one of the best-preserved early streets in Pensacola. The majority of the houses are Gulf Coast Creole Cottages and shotgun frame vernacular houses, built from 1810 to 1900. The Creole Cottages are the earliest, and feature side facing gables, inset front porches, raised foundations, and two or four room plans. Some of these early cottages were two-family houses, having two doors facing the street. French Creole settlers brought this architectural style from the West Indies via New Orleans and it is unique to areas in which this group settled. The later shotgun style houses featured a front facing gable, small front porch, and narrow rectangular plan.
