Compatriots,

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.
