Spanish lYail Books
Owners Mike and Pat Hutter tell the story of the transformation of this historic building into the lovely Spanish Trail Books. The present site of Spanish Trail Books dates back to as early as 1888 where Charles Redding was engaged in business. At the time Charles lived above the store. In October of 1894 fire broke out across the street over Swetmans Drug Store and burned much of the Vieux Marche area. Most of the Redding building was destroyed, but he immediately began rebuilding the present two story building, thought to be the oldest remaining edifice on View Marche. After his death in 1926 the building was rented to Edward Ouille as a drug store which remained for over 60 years. After 101 years in the same family, the building was sold by the Redding Estate to the present owners. Restoration of the building continues even now. The original 15 foot ceilings are now showing . Two of the iron columns decorated with omated and colorful capitals, also date from the late nineteenth century. The ceramic floor was added circa 1930. The present owners have added several things such as the spiral staircase and catwalk. There are two antique brass chandeliers that are not from the original building but are from the period (1895). Renovations continue today to preserve the Vieux Marches heritage.
Saenger Theater Lights, camera, action! Come join the Friends of the Saenger as this beautiful theater is filled with music and song. Home to vaudeville and early motion pictures when built in 1929, the Saenger Theater was the most modem theater in the South. Over the years changes were made to the theater to keep up with modem luxuries such as air conditioning. Ceilings were lowered and acoustical material replaced the original walls to better serve the new sound systems of the time. One Saturday night in November of 1974 a fire started when an electrical transformer blew on the roof. The doors closed until ABC Theater who owned the Saenger deeded the building to the City of Biloxi. Under the leadership of Mayor Jerry O'Keefe and in collaboration with the Biloxi Bicentennial Commission, it was announced that the Saenger would be restored as a Center for the Performing Arts. Friends of the Saenger was organized and plans were made for restoration and fund raising of the building. The theater had the stage floors replaced in 1989. In 1991 a computerized lighting system was installed. All due to the efforts of the Friends of the Saenger. Restoring and improving is a continuing job.
