“Bel Vue” – Circa 1855

Indian Springs Historic District

Ocean Springs, Mississippi

“Bel Vue” circa 1855 is a 22 room Greek Revival house located in the Indian Springs Historic District in Ocean Springs, Mississippi.  In 2008, Allred Architectural Group purchased the residence in order to restore and renovate the structure following damage from Hurricane Katrina and years of neglect and disrepair.  Believed to be the oldest home in Ocean Springs, the two-story, 150 year old residence features original hardwood flooring, many original doors and windows, a large front porch facing the Biloxi Back Bay, and 11′ high ceilings throughout the first floor.  Throughout the renovation process, our firm has worked closely with the local historic preservation board to bring the residence into compliance with current building codes and ADA requirements, while still maintaining the original historic features of the residence.
