'''Clara Garnier Barkley Vienne Dorr''' ([[1825]]-[[1899]]) was the daughter of shipping merchant [[George W. Barkley]] and wife of timber magnate [[Eben Walker Dorr]] who built the [[Clara Barkley Dorr House]] facing [[Seville Square]] with the wealth she inherited after her husband's death.

Clara Garnier Barkley was born in [[1825]] to businessman [[George W. Barkley]] and French native [[Clara Louise Garnier]], who built [[Barkley House|their home]] overlooking [[Pensacola Bay]] the same year. She married Noel Armande Vienne in [[1840]], but was soon widowed without children.

She remarried on [[December 12]], [[1849]] to [[Eben Walker Dorr]], the son of [[Escambia County Sheriff|Sheriff]] [[Ebenezer Dorr IV]]. Dorr had a disability that prevented him from fighting in the [[Civil War]] and instead managed the affairs of [[E. E. Simpson & Company]] in New Orleans. The company's [[Bagdad]] mill was damaged in the war; when it was rebuilt in [[1866]], Dorr was made a partner.

He died of [[yellow fever]] in [[1870]], and Clara received his share of the mill. With this wealth she purchased land by [[Seville Square]] and built a handsome two-story home, later dubbed the [[Clara Barkley Dorr House]]. She and her children moved into the house in [[1872]], and she remained until [[1896]], when Mrs. Dorr moved into a hotel until her death in [[1899]].

She is buried at [[St. John's Cemetery]], along with her husband (who, having died before the cemetery was established, was interred) and children Barkley, Walker and Mary.
