Historic Home of Jefferson Davis Damaged by Termites

Beauvoir, the last home of Jefferson Davis, is in need of repairs due to damage caused by termites, water damage and rot, The Sun Herald reports.

 

Restoration is needed at the historic landmark, The Sun Herald reports, 10 years after Hurricane Katrina caused millions of dollars in damage to the home of the president of the Confederacy — and seven years after it was restored. Damage was reported eating on some of the exterior boards of the home in Biloxi, Miss.

 

The Sun Herald reports that crews will begin working to repair or replace the steps, the porch decking and the rim joists under the porch, where the damage is most evident.
