Lost Pensacola

The Project

Lost Pensacola is a poster series highlighting beloved Pensacola landmarks that have been lost to time, whether by fire, storm, or demolition. Each poster in the project is designed in a graphic style that would have been appropriate during the building’s heyday.

The designer, Joe Vinson, is a native Pensacolian and local history aficionado who started the website Pensapedia. Lost Pensacola is his capstone project for the Public History master’s program at the University of West Florida, and he was selected as one of the “Emerging Artists” of the 2022 Great Gulfcoast Arts Festival. An exhibit of twelve Lost Pensacola posters opened at the Voices of Pensacola Multicultural Center in October 2022.

Twenty percent of all proceeds will be donated to local historic preservation organizations.
