The text of the marker:
"Grass Lawn

A two-story , wood-frame Greek Revival house with peripteral galleries, "Grass Lawn" was built as a vacation residence for Dr. Hiram Alexander Roberts, a surgeon and planter from Port Gibson.  From 1904 to 1950, it was the home of Gulfport mayor Joseph William Milner.  Owned by  the city in the latter  half of the 20th Century, the original house was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina.  The current house is an exact replica, constructed in 2009-2010."
