Inscription.
The two-story wood-frame structure once located here was constructed ca. 1900, probably from parts of an earlier building. Its two - tiered wrap - around gallery and French doors reflected the Creole building traditions of the region. Owned by M. O. Randall, the tavern and hostelry was built to serve the resort community of East Pascagoula. Randall's Tavern was converted into a residence in 1913 but was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

Erected 2013 by Mississippi Department of Archives and History.
