But Bay St. Louis' lively arts colony and Old Town shopping areas both rebounded. One building that survived is the dignified Hancock County Court House, 152 Main St. More than a century old, it is the jewel of the city's historic district, an area filled with stately homes, charming cottages and a variety of shops and eateries.
