The Louisville and Nashville Railroad grain elevator was a grain elevator located at Tarragona Wharf on Pensacola Bay. It was constructed in 1898 and had a capacity of 500,000 bushels of wheat. The grain elevator was damaged beyond repair in the 1926 hurricane.
Several of the "bird's eye" photographs taken of Pensacola in the early 1900s (see 1909) were taken from atop the L&N grain elevator.
