"Pass Christian… where the climate, people and surroundings are all delightful." — Theodore Roosevelt
2016 Tour of Homes
Pass Christian, Miss., historically has been a resort community for New Orleans families seeking to beat the heat of the city in the summer.
A building boom in the late 1840s created a number of homes, many of which existed until Hurricane Katrina, when they were either damaged or destroyed. Restored homes as well as new homes built since that time maintain the style of this resort community.
On Sunday, May 1, 2016, from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., the Pass Christian Historical Society will focus on four homes that exemplify the history of our coast community. One home dates back to the late 1840s, another to the 1920s. Two are post-Katrina constructions with one being an impressive example of modern modular construction methods.
This year’s featured homes are:
