Constructed in 1927, this Spanish Eclectic/Mission Revival style house contributes to the potential Beach Park Place historic district and is eligible for designation as a Mississippi Landmark.

After the conclusion of the public comment period, the proposed project and written public comments may be placed on the Board's agenda for action. Based on the public comments, the Board may act to approve or deny the permit. If the Board denies the permit due to an adverse effect, it may also consider the property for Mississippi Landmark designation in accordance with the Antiquities Law of Mississippi, Section 39-7-3 et seq. of the Mississippi Code of 1972, as amended.
