Grass Lawn (Gulfport, Mississippi)

Grass Lawn, also known as the ''Milner House'', was a two-story Antebellum home located in Gulfport, Harrison County, Mississippi. In 1972, the home was added to the National Register of Historic Places. In 2005, the home was destroyed during Hurricane Katrina. A replica of Grass Lawn, ''Grasslawn II'', was built and was designated a Mississippi Landmark in 2010.〔 The new structure was dedicated in 2012 for use in city events, weddings, receptions, and parties.
==History==
Grass Lawn was constructed in 1836 as a summer home for Dr. Hiram A. Roberts, a Port Gibson surgeon and owner of sugarcane plantations in Louisiana.〔 (Grass Lawn Historical Home ) Retrieved 2012-08-15.〕 The house was located in Gulfport, Mississippi on 235 acres (95.1 hectares) overlooking the Mississippi Sound. Grass Lawn was unique in that it was of wood-pegged construction with timbers of hand-hewn longleaf pine and walls of bald cypress.〔(Grass Lawn architectural data ) Retrieved 2012-08-15.〕 Heart-pine lumber was used as flooring, and fireplace mantels were composed of either black or white marble. The 2-story home had 10-foot-wide (3-meter-wide) porches supported by box columns.
Through the years, the property was subdivided, and in 1905, John Kennedy Milner purchased the home. Milner later became owner of the Coast Coca-Cola Bottling Company in Gulfport.
In 1972, because of its political, historical, and architectural significance, Grass Lawn was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. In 1973, the Milner Family sold the home to the City of Gulfport. During the next 32 years, the house was used by the city as a community center for both private and public gatherings.
On August 29, 2005, Grass Lawn was destroyed during Hurricane Katrina. In the aftermath of the hurricane, government officials committed to construct a period-style replica of Grass Lawn to serve as a visible reminder of historic buildings on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. The completed structure was dedicated on July 20, 2012, to be used for city functions, and rented out for weddings, receptions, and other events.〔(Beloved Grass Lawn dedicated in Gulfport ) Retrieved 2012-08-15.〕〔(Gulfport’s Grass Lawn finally reopens ) Retrieved 2012-08-17.〕
