The first floor exterior has been changed over the years reflect different retail needs, but the exterior of the upper floors remains intact. In 1989, the Blount Building was listed in A Guide to Florida's Historic Architecture, published by the University of Florida Press, which described it as a "Fine example of turn-of-the-century commercial architecture in Pensacola.". In 2015 a group of local investors, led by Bobby Switzer, purchased the Blount building, the attached Brent building, and the majority of the adjacent buildings. The group of buildings subsequently underwent extensive renovation, adding significantly to the revitalization effort in downtown Pensacola. (en)
