This beautiful house was built in 1856 as a wedding present for Matilda Toledano by her husband Christoval. The house is a striking example of Greek Revival architecture. Constructed on a French plan with rich architectural detail, the house is furnished in period style to interpret Biloxi’s antebellum history. Badly damaged by Hurricane Camille, Tullis and its beautiful grounds were purchased by the City of Biloxi in 1975 and restored as a historic house museum and recreational area.

23.	MARITIME AND SEAFOOD INDUSTRY MUSEUM
115	First Street, Biloxi, MS Hours: 1.00 pm - 5:00 pm • Monday, March 29th Hostesses: Museum Staff
Located on the eastern tip of the Biloxi peninsula, the Maritime and Seafood Industry Museum is housed in a Spanish influence structure built in 1934 as part of the U.S. Cast Guard station. The museum was established in 1986 to preserve and interpret the maritime history and heritage of Biloxi and the Mississippi Gulf Cost. It accomplishes this mission through an array of exhibits containing historic photographs and objects. Visitors can experience the impact of hurricanes in our new Wade Guice Hurricane Museum within a museum. A film on Hurricane Camille, which devastated the Gulf Coast in 1969, is shown every 1/2 hour. The museum has brought Biloxi’s maritime history to life by replicating two full-sized Biloxi Schooners, which sail the Gulf waters daily. Demonstrations of oyster shucking and cast net knitting will be displayed.
