1.	HOME OF DR. & MRS. JAMES O. WILLIAMS, This home on the USM Gulf Park Campus was built c 1900. Formerly occupied by the Presidents of Gulf Park College, it became the residence of the Dean of USM Gulf Park when USM obtained the campus in 1972. In 1993 a complete restoration program was undertaken to re-express many of the fine features of the original home. Wide porches, high ceilings, above ground piers, placement under the oak canopy and orientation to the sea make this home a statement of elegant charm. The decor is a blend of family furnishings. Crochet work is by two great-aunts, and treasured family quilts are displayed.
2.	ADMORE, HOME OF DR. AND MRS. DONALD R. RAYNER
818 E. Beach Blvd. was built in 1893 by D. R. Graham on the "Widow" Ladner claim. He named it "ADMORE" for it was his intent to add more to the house as the need arose. The front door and all the windows are original; the Rayners added custom designed beveled glass to the door. The furniture throughout the house is mostly early 1800's. Murals in the upstairs children's bedrooms are by artist Cathy Milner. There are three lovely wrought iron patio areas in the back. The Anniversary Oak, estimated age 115 years and the Chimney Oaks, estimated age 169 years shade the backyard.
