The Gulf Power building built on the Hawkshaw site.

Hawkshaw is the name of a waterfront area near downtown Pensacola where a UWF archaeological team uncovered artifacts from four distinct historical periods, including a component called Deptford dating back 1750-2000 years.

The first documented use of the name "Hawkshaw" is on a black-and-white photograph of the area which has "Hawkshaw ... 1939" handwritten on its face. The Hawkshaw area can be basically defined as south of Gregory Street and east of Ninth Avenue to the bay in both directions.[1]
