Toulme/Kane House

It is believed that within a few hundred feet of this house is the site of the fort built by Bienville in December 1699, making Bay Saint Louis third oldest city on the Gulf of Mexico. The site has not been proven by excavation.
212 North Beach Boulevard was designed by architect Vinson Smith for the ners of the A & G Theater, Mrs. Philo Gaspard and her niece, Miss Geraldine Ames. It was built in 1945 in Spanish Colonial Revival style. The two story 4x6 bay irregular plan house has parapeted walls, a tile shed roofed porch supported by spiral columns. The porch has arched openings. A second two story tower porch has been added on the right side which gives a private beach view to the large bedrooms both upstairs and downstairs.
216 Nortli Beach Boulevard was the beautiful home of Mrs. G.H.Boyle, until ltTiunied about 1901. Excellent photographs of this house were downloaded from the Library of Congress on the internet. Mrs. Boyle Tmilt the Tulane Hotel after the fire and managed it until it burned in the 1930s. It had 27 rooms and accommodated up to 100 guests. The Wyly Home resembles its predecessor, the Tulane, although the former was constructed of lap-board siding.
The Toulme/Kane House at 218 North Beach Boulevard has been home to several very prominent Bay Saint Louis families such as Toulme, Miltenburger, Horton, Rauxet and Kane. The house, though much older, had major renovations about 1925, but retains its undercut gallery and central chimney. The shed dormer allows for multiple views of the bay from the upper floor.
