Seamarge was the name of William Alexander Blount, Sr.'s 13-acre estate and the 28-room house which it surrounded. Blount built the estate in 1905, and equipped it with stables, a greenhouse, servant quarters, and a stop on the Pensacola & Barrancas Railroad, a short line connecting downtown Pensacola with the Navy Yard.

Today, only the house, which sits on 1.37 acres, remains of the original estate; the surrounding land has been sold off and developed by others. Jon and Linda Johnson owned the home from 1986-2001. The Seamarge house is currently owned by Larry and Lynn Morris.
