■ J 0 CAMILLE: 20 Years Later PHOTOS BY BOB HUBBARD OF WAVELAND The family stayed upstairs — and safe — in the Dr. Momus house as the storm lashed the Coast. GONE By KAT BERGERON When the owners of this St Charles Avenue home, above, added on a carport, they wanted to it be hurricane- THE SUN HERALD . The wind and water carried by Hurricane Camille robbed the Coast of many of its landmarks. They are, to longtime residents, gone but not forgotten. Only photographs tell their stories, though some are still marked by empty lots and driveways that go nowhere. Others have been replaced by new landmarks that will become the memories of new generations. Sadly, to remember the Dixie White House, the Old Pirate House and the era of gazebo socializing we must turn to history books. And the so-called Dixie White House was as steeped in history as any of them. It received its nickname during a brief visit from President Woodrow Wilson, who arrived Christmas 1913 and spent 2V2 weeks in Pass Christian recovering from a strenuous congressional session and a bout with the flu. Built in 1854 and named Beaulieu, the house was described as “a fine example of colonial architecture, ji modified by old French and Spanish j| styles.” Please see HOMES, Page 18
