Biloxi
Beauvoir is the retirement estate of Confederate
President Jefferson Davis in Biloxi, Mississippi. Developed by planter-entrepreneur
James Brown, the gulfside estate grew to encompass approximately 500 acres and
was dominated by an imposing Louisiana raised cottage-style residence, constructed
in 1848-1851. Now home to a museum and future site of Gulf Coast Botanical Gardens.
