Update on Beauvoir
condition
An aerial shot of
Beauvoir on the Jackson, MS 10:00 news shows Beauvoir still
standing although severely damaged. Looking at the house from
the air, the main house is still intact but the gallery and
columns around the house are gone. It also has a large hole in
the southwest corner of the roof and all windows and doors
are gone.
The Hayes Cottage
just west of the House is no longer there. The Barracks in the
rear of the House is probably gone as well. The copter did not
pan far enough to the east to see the condition of the Gift Shop
and Confederate Museum. From an earlier post, it sounds like the
Library survived. I was told that many of the artifacts from the
museums and House were moved to the upper floors Library for
safe keeping.
If the
structural integrity of the House is sound, I believe Beauvoir
can be restored.
