History
The Felix LaBauve House was the home of Felix LaBauve (1809–1879), a French émigré and early settler to Mississippi. LaBauve was a community leader and newspaper publisher.[2][5] He was nicknamed "the father of scholarships in Mississippi" because he bequeath an endowment of US$20,000 to the University of Mississippi, for the explicit purpose of establishing a permanent scholarship for orphaned boys from DeSoto County, Mississippi.[2][6] The scholarship is no longer in existence, but he left a lasting legacy.[6] In 1976, the former LaBauve property was donated to the city of Hernando, with the goal of preservation.[2]
The building is a single-story frame house built in Шаблон:Circa, it is located at its original site (which had an address change over the years) and the structure has been altered.[2][7] The house is a Victorian-style cottage, which has a distinct style of porch and lacy gable.[8]
