Back to the Library I went to re-examine rectangular shaped buildiings on a triangular shaped lot that was hopefully near the railroad.
Ahah! --- I spy the hotel as shown below on Sanborn Maps.
In 1904, it is shown as the Gilmore Hotel.
Shaded in Yellow.
In 1909, it was shown as Bancard's Hotel.
Shaded in Yellow.

in 1917, it is shown as a Saloon and Rooms with a Barber Shop in the rear.
The following vignette seems appropriate at this point, perhaps remembered from the above noted barber shop.
A barber in Bay St. Louis by the Train Station, on completing one of his customers and dusting him off, the customer stated, "Well, I hope I look better now!"
The Barber replied, "Son, that's a birth defect, but you do have a good haircut!"
