Landmarks like Beavoir, the final home of Confederate President Jefferson Davis, are virtually demolished.

The Davis home, built in 1854, has been reduced to rubble and a frame of a house.

More recent landmarks like the President Casino also sustained heavy damage. The storm's surge moved the casino from the gulf across U.S. 90, crushing a Holiday Inn.

edit to add: Just saw the live shot of the casino area on FoxNews, just staggering to see. Also, Mary Mahoney's restaurant, a landmark for some 40 years, wasn't shown but they talked with the owner who said it was heavily damaged (or destroyed). My wife said that was where easily the best gumbo she'd ever tasted came from & that the guy on camera was "just the nicest person" (you probably have to hear that with her East Tennessee accent to get the full effect).
