Many people say this is their favorite street in Pensacola. Some like to refer to is as the “Tree Tunnel.”

The road was originally the entrance to the Baars family’s vast estate, including their Bayou Texar home, Cordova Towers. The trees were planted in anticipation of Mary Ellison Baars’ plan to develop the area with vacation homes for wealthy northerners, but that project fell through when economic conditions soured in the early 20th century.
