The Stalwart Chimney in the Gulf Coast: A Pensacola, Florida Landmark

This fifteen-foot barnacle, now proudly gracing Chimney Park, started life as a roaring sawmill.Back in 1862, when the Union came calling in Pensacola, destroying industries became the new trend. The city's mills, including Hyer's, were hit hard by explosives. But ol' Hyer’s chimney had other plans, standing firm against the blast, making it a relic deserving of Pensacola's history. Jumping ahead to 2012, it earned a well-deserved spot on the National Register of Historic Places.
