The '''Gulf Power buildingBuilding''' is a five-story, 250,000 square foot office building located at One Energy Place (500 [[Bayfront Parkway]]) that serves as the main corporate headquarters for the [[Gulf Power Company]].
The building was constructed in two sections between July [[1985]] and March [[1987]]. Gulf Power faced initial criticism of building their headquarters on prime waterfront property in the historically sensitive [[Hawkshaw]] neighborhood. Before construction began, a team of [[UWF]] archaeologists led by Dr. [[Judy Bense]] excavated the site and unearthed a wealth of artifacts from a Native American culture (dubbed "[[Deptford]]") that date back to around 150 [[Wikipedia:Common Era|CE]].
