Newly Identified National Register Individually Eligible Properties
FEMA determined with SHPO concurrence that there are 34 newly identified properties eligible for listing on the NRHP in Hancock County. Four of these properties are in Bay St. Louis, 12 in Waveland, 10 in Kiln, three in Pearlington, two in Crane Creek, two in Sellers and one jn Leetown.
Most of these properties are houses in residential use. Two are churches (First Baptist Church of
/ \ \
Kiln and the Church of the Annunciation) located in Kiln. The First Baptist Church pf Kiln is of significance because of its association with Ethnic Heritage (African American) and iis^ueen
Anne style architecture. The Church of the Annunciation is the^oldest extant church in Hancock
County. Another property was originally a school, Wave 1 and*SchooT“and is now' known and used as the Waveland Civic Center.

The houses located at 808 and 810 St. Joseph Street in Waveland were moved from Logtown in the 1960s to allow for the establishment of the buffer zone for the NASA Mississippi Testing Center. These two houses are the onlv known surviving homes associated with the once
prosperous logging town that no longer exists.
