    History of Union Quarters -- Pass Christian<br>During the Civil War, following the occupation by Federal Troops, the home at 243 East<br>Beach was temporarily used as Union Quarters until they moved to Biloxi.<br>The superbly restored mansion is architecturally described in<br>the National Register of Historic Places as having been built in 1855.<br>It is an impressive, two-story, frame, double-pile, Greek Revival<br>dwelling distinguished by its one-bay pedimented portico which is set<br>against the inset gallery. It is adorned with a cast-iron filigree<br>balustrade. The octagonal garconniere at its west side was built in<br>1890, and the dining room, solarium, and porte-cochere were added<br>in 1910.<br>A cast iron fence fronts the property enclosing a Magnolia Historical Marker which was<br>dedicated in 1960. It reads, &quot;Union officers were temporarily quartered here during the invasion<br>of Pass Christian.&quot;<br>Adjoining the Union Quarters on the west side is an aging story-and-a-half, four-bay<br>frame cottage which was built by Pierre Saucier. It was last occupied by Mrs. Belle Christovich<br>who died in 1969 at age 97.
