WXXV News 25
June 24, 2021
It’s time to Live Local, a series you can only catch here on WXXV.
For this week’s edition, News 25’s Lorraine Weiskopf will take you inside the historic Barq’s Building on Howard Avenue in Biloxi.
The Barq’s Building in downtown Biloxi has no relation to the famous root beer. It’s just the last name of the family who purchased the building back in 1938 to be used for commercial business.
The family purchased the property from the Yerger family, adding to the history of the shopping district in Downtown Biloxi. The Barq’s Building began as two phases of construction that joined together to create the west end of the walkable retail mall. District on Howard Avenue Director of Marketing and Leasing Bobby Gillon said, “Just wondering about the history, all the stories that have been seen and told and just wondering about all the lives that have lived here. It’s all pretty interesting.”
