3.	HOME OF MR. AND MRS. HENRY MOORE, 6825 Shore Drive. Shades of Wedgewood blue, rose and white were chosen by interior designer Herb Moore to enhance the family heirlooms featured in the home. Among the antiques highlighted are a press made on a plantation in Lafayette County, and tailor’s shears used in Holly Springs to cut Confederate uniforms. Brass spurs, complete with a dent made from a bullet fired in the Mexican War, and a canvas doll made by Henry Moore’s grandmother with the face handpainted by William Faulkner’s mother, will be prominently displayed. Featured throughout the house are paintings by Betty Moore’s mother, as well as several by Henry Moore’s grandmother. The handmade wreath on the custom crafted mahogany and beveled glass door is a family heirloom, passed on to the Moores more than 20 years ago. Occupying a place of honor in the newly remodeled and decorated home will be Mrs. Moore’s extensive collection of old post cards.
4.	THE GARDEN OF MR. AND MRS. ROBERT C. LOWERY, 13801 Paraiso Road (off North Shore Drive). From “Mississippi Jungle’’ to a beautiful garden in three years.

Interlaced around the trees are grass areas and little gardens that include hundreds of flowering bushes and plants such as: azaleas, camellias, crape myrtles, daffodils, gardenias, hollies, lilies, oleanders, pyracantha, roses, yellow jasmine, wisteria floribunda, and palms. In addition to various flowers and shrubs are several little rock gardens with sculptured statuary. REFRESHMENTS will be served in the garden patio of the Lowery home.

5.	ST. PIERRE’S EPISCOPAL CHURCH, 4412 Gautier-Vancleave Road was the first church in Gautier, organized in 1921 and built on the bayou that bears its name. In its early days St. Pierre’s had an ecumenical atmosphere and other denominations were free to use the church until they built their own. After existing as a parochial mission of St. John’s Episcopal Church in Pascagoula for 65 years, in 1986 St. Pierre’s experienced a spiritual rebirth, became an independent Mission of the Diocese, and embarked on a building fund drive for construction of a new larger church. Our new church is constructed in Gothic style with a separate bell tower. On a retable behind the altar is an English Gothic reredos designed by Sir Edward Bume-Jones, circa 1870. He was a noted English artist, and a member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and a leader in the Arts and Crafts Movement. The reredos are from a church in Yorkshire. The stained glass windows were designed by Andrew Young of Jackson, repeating the motifs and carvings of the antique reredos.
