The '''Phenix Building''' was a historic building at the corner of [[Palafox]] and [[Cedar Street]]s, immediately south of the famous [[Trader Jon's building]]. An 1893 advertisement in the [[Daily News]] read as follows:

{{bquote|FOR RENT, in the new three-story building on Palafox, below main, to be known as "THE PHENIX," the following apartments: Two small store rooms, 10x50, suitable for fruit or tobacco stores, or for offices, on ground floor: water and gas.

Early tenants included a barbershop, cigar store, and [[Dunn's Hotel]]. In [[1903]] it had become the [[Bay Hotel]], Restaurant and Shooting Gallery.

Its last tenant was [[Sarah's]], an upscale women's clothing store and boutique. The damage it received in 2004 from [[Hurricane Ivan]] was so severe, the building (in spite of its name) had to be demolished.
