Pleasant Reed House, Historical museum in Biloxi, United States.
The Pleasant Reed House incorporates architectural elements typical of late 19th century Gulf Coast residences, with a side hall layout and wooden construction methods.
Built in 1887 by Pleasant Reed, a former slave, the original structure stood at 306 Elmer Street until Hurricane Katrina destroyed it in 2005.
The reconstructed building serves as an interpretive center, documenting African American experiences in Mississippi through exhibits and educational programs.
Located at the Ohr-O'Keefe Museum of Art complex, the center welcomes visitors Monday through Saturday from 10 AM to 4 PM with admission fees ranging from free to $6.
Family members spoke French Creole dialect and called the upper floor garçonnière, reflecting the cultural connections between Mississippi and Louisiana communities.
