THE MONET - BREATH HOME
Located at 616 North Beach Boulevard. Bay Saint Louis, Mississippi
This beautiful home is listed number 13 on the National Register of Historic Places as follows: ?Ca. 1820 with Queen Anne style additions ca. 1880. Rectangular plan gable-roofed main block with added central gable polygonal bay and turreted porch. Bracketed undercut gallery. Shingle and scroll-sawn decorations. (P)" Note: The (P) at the end signifies that the structure is rated as being of Primary significance.
Records show that the central section of the house was built in 1818 for Judge P.C. Monet who was Mayor of Shieldsboro (later Bay Saint Louis) in 1858.
The small photograph of the house appeared in the Sea Coast Echo on May 9, 1903.
The ?North wing? which was built about 1880 is evident. The delightful, turreted porch and the front central gable with the Paladin windows were added about 1909.
It has been home to four generations of the Breath family, all of whom have been prominent, both socially and civically. Both the house and the family are considered treasures of the city.
