King-Hooton House
The King-Hooton House is an 1871, 1+1⁄2-story, frame vernacular residence, with an attached kitchen wing. Originally built as a single dwelling, it was converted into a duplex in the mid-1950s. It was built by a local carpenter for Margaret E. King, one of Pensacola's most prominent real estate holders in the late nineteenth century. It has three interior, stuccoed, brick chimneys which pierce front gabled roofs; an inset porch at the main entrance; and an attached hip roofed porch on the south elevation. Paired brackets accent the eaves of the main house. A bay window dominates the main facade; nearly all of the other windows are wooden, double hung, 6/6 sash. There are two jib windows. Sixteen pairs of original, wooden, louvered shutters remain intact and are operable.
