LaPointe-Krebs House gets $250,000 grant for repairs: "PASCAGOULA -- One of the state's oldest buildings will receive a share of a $26 million grant to restore historic structures affected by Hurricane Katrina.
The Mississippi Department of Archives and History awarded a $250,000 grant to help restoration efforts at La-Pointe-Krebs House in Pascagoula, also known as Old Spanish Fort. The money will be used for interior, exterior and foundation repairs.
The house and accompanying museum are situated on Krebs Lake on the East Pascagoula River. The house was built in 1721 by French-Canadian carpenter Simon de LaPointe and is said to be the oldest existing private building in the Mississippi Valley."
