Context/Comments
The DeJean House is a wood-frame Queen Anne cottage that was built in 1906. When it was documented in 1992, it was one of only seven Queen Anne cottages remaining in Pascagoula that retained integrity.

It was individually listed on the National Register on 25 February 1993, from a nomination prepared by architect Bruce Tolar of Ocean Springs. It was later included as a previously-listed element (element #5) in the original Orange Avenue Historic District, which was added to the National Register on 14 August 2001. When that district was resurveyed and enlarged as the Orange Avenue Historic District Boundary Increase No. 1 (which was added to the National Register on 18 September 2013) the DeJean House was renumbered within the inventory of properties in the enlarged district as element #10.
Brief Description
1.5 story, wood-frame, Queen Anne house with multi-gable roof with returns and a partially enclosed wrap-around porch. The porch, supported by bracketed turned posts spanned by a picketed balustrade, has a turret at the left (south) corner, cutaway bays, and a pediment at the main entrance. Doors are wood panel with transoms. Windows are 1/1 wood DHS with working shutters. The house has a pier foundation, asbestos shingle siding, and an asphalt shingle roof. Changes include a Craftsman era enclosure of the porch (north end) and one story, gable addition at the rear.
