The First National Bank Building, also known as the Citizens and Peoples National Bank Building, is an historic two-story Classical Revival style building located at 213 South Palafox Street in Pensacola, Escambia County, Florida. Built in 1906-1908 by Charlie Hunter, it was designed by the New York architectural firm Mowbray and Uffinger. In 1989, the building was listed in A Guide to Florida's Historic Architecture, published by the University of Florida Press.[1]
In 1993 Barnett Bank acquired Citizens and Peoples National Bank and the building. Today the building is part of the Escambia County Government Center and is owned by Escambia County, which has renamed it the Matt Langley Bell III Building in memory of Matt Langley Bell III, longtime Escambia County Tax Collector who died in office on October 15, 2008. Today the Tax Collector's main office is in the building.[citation needed]
