Bellevue, also known as the "Longfellow House" is a historic home in Pascagoula, Mississippi facing the Gulf of Mexico and is listed on the NRHP.[1]
Bellvue was built in 1850 as a home for slave trader, Daniel Smith Graham.[2] Since then the building has served a number of functions including a girl's school, a private residence as well as a private resort and club owned by Ingalls Shipbuilding.[2] Legend has it that Henry Wadsworth Longfellow once stayed there when he wrote his work The Building of the Ship but little evidence has emerged to support this.[2]
Later, the property was purchased by Richard and Dianne Scruggs who restored the property and donated it to the University of Mississippi Foundation.[2] After being damaged by Hurricane Katrina, it was sold in 2006 to Drs. Randy and Tracy Roth for use as a private residence.[2]
