Barkley House

Jul 2023

The beautiful Barkley House is the oldest masonry house in Pensacola. It's part of Historic Pensacola village dating back to 1825. It's very beautiful, facing Pensacola bay & is surrounded by lush beautiful gardens. The little tiny house at the side was where the cooks kitchen was. So adorable. There is a informational phone/recording you can listen to, you can take a tour or explore it at your leisure. A must visit when visiting Pirate'cola. Highly recommend.

This past weekend I attended a 5pm wedding & reception at the Barkley House & Gardens. Being mid June, it was a very hot day (in 90s). I accepted being hot outdoors, but could hardly wait to get indoors and enjoy the AC. Not so! Even though there is AC, it was not very efficient & we were sweltering inside! Outside on the front porch was way more comfortable, if you can believe that! If they could only add some ceiling fans or attractive upright oscillating fans, it would make a huge difference! Otherwise, the building & grounds were lovely.
