Description

Description: One house from the beach and no hurricane Katrina tidal water! The land it is situated on is geographically singular for the entire 26 mile length of the Mississippi gulf coast.
If there is a mountain in Biloxi this house is on it! Although it is only one house from the beach and has spectacular water views, the tidal surge from hurricaine Katrina did not enter the house. For 26 miles of Mississippi beach front property this is probably the house nearest the beach that didn't get water. It is wonderfully unique home in an incredibly unique location. The ridge it is situated on runs from the lighthouse to just past the old White House Hotel and was the location for the French settlement which served as the capital of the French colonies until it was moved to New Orleans. This is the original family home of the Whites who were the builders and owners of the White House Hotel. The heartwood pine lumber taken from virgin forests used in these historic homes is impossible to obtain in modern home improvement centers. It was built to last, the old fashioned way, with hand tools -- and it has! This historic home still has the original pressed aluminum shingle roof. A 100+ year roof! Beneath the wood siding the house is entirely diagonally sheathed in 7/8's tongue and groove lumber. Modern homes simply tack on some black fiberboard. This is a neighborhood that is listed in the National Register of Historic neighborhoods in the heart of Biloxi just off the beach with beach views. It is eligible for National Historic Register status and Biloxi Landmark status. There are very few of these kinds of homes left on Mississippi's gulf coast anymore and none with the singular geographic features the land it is situated on offers.

A few years back a metal detector search under the house yielded the discovery of three coins from the French settlement era dated 1721. These coins will be included with the house as part of its history.
