'''Long Hollow''' is a neighborhood in the [[City of Pensacola]] between the [[North Hill]] and [[Eastside]] neighborhoods, bounded roughly by [[Palafox Street]] to the west, [[Wright Street]] to the south, [[Avery Street]] to the north, and the [[CSX railroad]]/[[Tarragona Street]] to the east. Its name is derived from old city maps, which described this low-lying strip between the hills as "the Long Hollow." In the early 1900s, it was home to the [[city stables]] and [[Waterworks building|utility buildings]].
