Summary

Title, date and keywords based on information provided by the photographer.
Due to the number of fine late-19th-and early-20th-Century mansions built along the city beachfront that is now a scenic drive, Pass Christian was known as the "Newport of the South." (The Newport to which it is compared is a similar trove of splendid mansions in the northeast state of Rhode Island).
