L. L. Kergosien and Son an-, nounced plans of the Gironde Corporation for the historic O. J. Key house and lot in downtown Bay St. Louis.
The existing Colonial mansion, built on a Spanish land grant, will be restored and remodeled.
The ultimate development will provide 40 apartments, while the initial remodeling of the house will provide seven luxury apartments.
The grouping of the additions to the building, combined with the existing structure, will form court yards with galleries over-
, looking a swimming pool and recreation area.
Henry G. Grimball, New Orleans architect, in charge of the design, stated the existing live oaks and landscaping will be retained.
Building permits for the initial development have been obtained. All plans seem to conform with the proposed zoning ordinance, and the Mayor and Councilmen expressed approval, the Kergosien firm reported.
The proposed project is in walking distance of the shopping area, schools, churches and beach.
The property is listed exclusively with L. L. Kergosien and Son and Mitchell Realty jointly.
