BEAUREGARD-KEYES HOUSE

This 1826 house reflects both Creole and American styles. It is decorated and furnished in the style of 1850. Some of the furniture and objects came from the family of Confederate General Beauregard, who lived in the house for a short time after the Civil War. In the 1940s, novelist Frances Parkinson Keyes (1885-1970) took over the house and restored it to its original condition. The patio behind the house is very pretty, as is the Creole garden to the side, which many guidebooks say is haunted.
