O'Keefe House
In 1906, Jeremiah J. O’Keefe I built a large family home on Porter Avenue in Ocean Springs, MS. This 2 ½ story mansion of Beaux-Arts “polite” design was constructed with Corinthian columns and wide galleries. Unfortunately, the O’Keefes lost their property in 1938. At this time, the O’Keefes vowed to reclaim their ancestral property. Jeremiah J. “Jerry” O’Keefe III fulfilled the family prophecy in 1987 when he repurchased and restored the Porter Avenue residence.
