Contractors sought for Beauvoir work - The Clarion-Ledger: "The last home of Confederate President Jefferson Davis, which drew 75,000 to 100,000 visitors annually, was heavily damaged by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. It has been closed since. Restoration of the National Historic Landmark, expected to cost millions, will take both public and private support.
Bids will be for restoration of Beauvoir House only, with the hope of a grand re-opening June 3, 2008, Davis' 200th birthday. The building will be restored to the period 1877-89, when Davis lived there.
A prequalification committee of representatives from FEMA, Mississippi Department of Archives and History, board of Beauvoir and Albert & Associates Architects will approve a general contractor with the experience and capability to work on a heavily damaged national landmark."
