Background
This year’s addition to a series of
Christmas ornaments honoring historic sites in Biloxi, MS. The
ornaments from previous years are $25.00 each, including tax.
The complete set of 10 is available for $200.
Previous ornaments in the series include
the witch weathervane on the old Peoples Bank, the Biloxi
Lighthouse, the Church of the Redeemer, the Saenger Theatre,
the Breilmaier House, the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
Biloxi City Hall, West End Fire Company Museum, and the
Dantzler House.
All the ornaments are available through
the Creole Cottage at 137 Lameuse Street, Biloxi. If you cannot
go in person, the ornaments are available by emailing
Kay Miller, or calling Kay
Miller at 1-228-435-6339.
Proceeds from sales of the ornaments
assist in the work of promoting, preserving and revitalizing
downtown Biloxi.
The primary goal of Main Street Biloxi is
the preservation and revitalization of the Main Street
district, an area that extends from Porter Avenue at the
Historic Biloxi Lighthouse to Bellman Street at the historic
Church of the Redeemer, and from Highway 90 to the Railroad on
Esters Blvd.
This year’s ornament celebrates the
preservation of one of the few historic coastal houses not
destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. Beyond providing office and
work space for Main Street Biloxi to replace space lost to
Katrina, the Bond-Grant House will provide function and event
space for the community if fundraising is sufficient to
underwrite the required renovation. The first phase of
renovation required a move across the street, finished in March
2006.
