The "house", of course, is the Del Castle, aka the Casa Flores, aka the Lee House. This home was built in the mid 1920's by the Jenson Brothers Construction Company for realtor F.E. Lee, in November 1925. It is one of the last examples of the stucco designs of architect  Gordon Hite of New Orleans.

More colloquially, the sprawling house became known locally as the Al Capone House, since it was reputed to be the famous gangster's Southern hideout and a base for running rum during Prohibition.

The Del Castle was touched by Hurricane Katrina in August 2005. While not severely damaged in the storm, the deteriorating house's owner decided it would be prohibitively expensive to bring the house back up to standard and code. Against the wishes of his parents, he petitioned the Ocean Springs Board of Aldermen for permission to demolish  the historic structure. After a lengthy process, the Board eventually approved the demolition and the house fell to the wrecker's ball in March 2007. 

Given the significant loss of historic structures in the area due to Katrina, the classic style of the Del Castle, as well as the lore surrounding the house, there is widespread sentiment along the Mississippi Gulf Coast to reconstruct the legendary house in another location. 

The Green Builders Group, along with Alpha Opportunities International,  has now taken up the call. We want to build a new Del Castle using advanced construction systems and highly energy efficient materials. We will then feature this historic re-creation as a showcase home for our innovative designs and environmentally friendly construction. To make the project viable, we are planning to make this building  a museum and attraction highlighting the style and artifacts of the Prohibition period. We will also build a restaurant and prohibition era theme speakeasy bar and nightclub, meeting facilities, and a classic automobile museum, which will serve as an anchor to Gulf Coast classic automobile shows, rallies, and other events.
