THE A. F. DANTZLER HOUSE, 5005 Griffin Street. This Queen Anne style house was built in 1906 by A. F. Dantzler out of heart pine timber selected from the L. N. Dantzler Mill in Moss Point. The Dantzler family occupied the house until 1921 when it was rented to the Alberts family who eventually purchased the house in 1922. The Alberts occupied the home until 1985. Vallie A. Dantzler purchased the house in 1986. The house was repaired at that time and placed on the National Register of Historic Places. In February of 1993, the house and contents were purchased by Drs. Presley and Tara Mallett. Members of the Moss Point Garden Club will serve refreshments.

3.	PASCAGOULA. Home of Mr. and Mrs. John Waddell, 2503 Pascagoula St. This home was built in 1898 for Mr. L. D. Herrick, a prominent businessman. This Queen Anne style home was designed by Architect John Stone and constructed of cypress and longleaf yellow pine. This residence consists of multiple gables, complex roof and tower. Windows are in a variety of styles and shapes, among them Queen Anne double hung and circular. The wrap around porch has pairs of columns set on wood bases which span a turned wood railing. Inside parlor and dining room ceilings are of decorative tin, while in the foyer they are of wood joiner. The addition of 3 baths and modernized kitchen are the only significant changes that have been made since the house was originally built. The two-story structure has a symmetrical floor plan for both floors and many windows, typical of the Victorian period homes. From 1936 to 1942, the Herrick house remained vacant and was in need of much repair. May 16, 1941, joining together with Pascagoula’s clean-up campaign, Ingalls Shipbuilding Corp. provided the labor to paint the house. Placed on the National Register of Historic Places in January, 1992, the present owners John and Pam Waddell are working together to cosmetically restore the house. Hostesses: Members of the Pascagoula Garden Club.

OLD SPANISH FORT & KREBS CEMETERY
Pilgrimage Chairman: Anna Mae Jamison
Fort Drive, Pascagoula. From U.S. 90, tum north on Pascagoula Street, take a left on Lake Avenue, and past Lake Avenue Elementary School; there are signs to direct you. The Old Spanish Fort has the distinction of being the oldest building in the Mississippi Valley. It was erected about 1718 on land granted to the Duchess de Chaumont, who was a favorite in the Court of Louis XIV and the sister of French Admiral Joseph Simon de la Pointe. Marie Josephine, daughter of de la Pointe, married Baron Hugo von Krebs in the early 1730’s. Baron von Krebs was a planter, surgeon, and the inventor of a cotton gin many years prior to Eli Whitney’s. Kreb’s Cemetery, which occupies a comer of the grounds at the Old Spanish Fort is the burying place for many of the descendants of Baron von Krebs; the oldest graves in the cemetery are those of his children. Most of the inscriptions on the early graves are in French and give evidence of the high infant mortality rate during the Colonial period. The cemetery is shaded by massive live oaks
