The La Pointe - Krebs House is operated and maintained by the La Pointe - Krebs Foundation and serves as a museum. Description{{Stack|}}The "Old Spanish Fort" was not really a fort. Instead, it was a one-story, three-room structure that measured 37 feet (11.3 meters) in width and 62.25 feet (18.97 meters) in length.[4] Framing walls were 18 inches (45.7 centimeters) thick.[5] The building is constructed of longleaf pine framing, with walls of oyster-shell concrete in the oldest construction and with bousillage of clay and Spanish moss in the western and most recent addition. Dendrochronology dates the center tabby room to 1757 and the east tabby addition to 1762; and while no samples could be determined in the western bousillage addition, construction techniques and tool marks date the addition to 1820.[6] Three sides of the structure were bounded by a galleries and porches, supported by square wooden posts that were joined by a timber framing system. The gable roof was covered with wooden shingles. Two fireplace chimneys were composed of stucco-covered brick. The original structure had one large room with two smaller rooms. Flooring was oyster-shell concrete covered in 1820 with boards at a height of 18 inches (45.7 centimeters).[4] HistoryBetween 1713 and 1717, Joseph Simon de la Pointe, an Admiral in Bienville's fleet, was granted land by the French Governor Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac to build a residence in Pascagoula.[7] The land was used predominantly as an indigo and wax myrtle plantation - the indigo to produce purple dye, the wax myrtle berries for candlemaking. Hugo Ernestus Krebs, of German descent, acquired the property through marriage to de la Pointe's daughter, Marie Josephe. During Krebs' ownership, the property was maintained as a plantation with slaves and produced commodities such as rice and cotton.[8] Krebs also created a roller cotton gin more than two decades before the invention of Eli Whitney[9] The name Old Spanish Fort was derived during Spanish control of the Mississippi Territory in the late 1700s, when the structure served as a fortified home of Don Enrique Ginarest, an officer in the Spanish Army, who married the granddaughter of Hugo Krebs.[10] The structure was owned and occupied by descendants of Hugo Krebs until 1914.[4] At present day, the La Pointe - Krebs House and Property serve as a museum for the history of Pascagoula and Jackson County.
