| Commonly heralded as the "Aristocrat of the South" and "The Newport of the South," Pass Christian possesses one of the largest and best-preserved assemblages of noteworthy beachfront houses on the Gulf Coast. The eastern portion of the beachfront, in particular, is worthy of National Historic Landmark status because of the superior design and unaltered state of the structures located there, in addition to the splendor of the live-oak setting and the relatively few stylistically incompatible intrusions. Hurricane Katrina did severe damage to district, wiping away many historic buildings, especially on the western half. |
