Got a brochure from the City Hall as to what we could see by walking around downtown Biloxi. This place had a dor sale sign in front of it. Need to take off your brochure.

Could only see from the outside as it looks like it is for sale or someone lives there. Nice looking building but no signs showing history or anything else. Won't go there again...great parking because near a hospital.

I grew up on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, and though in Gulfport (13 miles away), remember the Redding House in downtown Biloxi, from my youth. Both of my parents worked at Keesler Air Force Base, so we spent quite a bit of time in Biloxi, and the Redding House always caught my attention. Back then (early 1950's) it was but one of several mansions in downtown Biloxi, but, in my opinion, the grandest, and is the last one standing today. Two things, that I was unaware of, were that it had become a wedding/event venue, and that it was also for sale. It appeared that it has been closed as an event venue, and is being prepped for a sale. It was closed up, but we did take quite a while to stroll around the property. While I remember the basic structure, from my childhood, I am not familiar with the damage done by Hurricane Katrina, and then what was restored afterward. The house looked just as I remembered it – a grand Colonial Revival with wrapping porches on two levels, with a smaller 3rd level gallery in the front. I almost wish that we had scheduled a tour from the realtor, as I have never seen the interior, but from photographs. However, we are not looking for retirement property in Biloxi, so that would have been inappropriate. Maybe, should the home be sold, and opened to the public, I can get my chance, on another visit? Historic, and very lovely to behold, I would definitely recommend that one stop to see an example of many of the lovely homes, which once graced downtown Biloxi.…
