More information on Beauregard-Keyes House
This "raised cottage," with its Doric columns and handsome twin staircases, was built as a residence by a wealthy New Orleans auctioneer, Joseph Le Carpentier, in 1826. Confederate Gen. P. G. T. Beauregard lived in the house with several members of his family for 18 months between 1865 and 1867, and from 1944 until 1970, it was the residence of Frances Parkinson Keyes (pronounced Cause), who wrote many novels about the region. One of them, Madame Castel's Lodger, concerns the general's stay in this house. Dinner at Antoine's, perhaps her most famous novel, was also written here. Mrs. Keyes left her home to a foundation, and the house, rear buildings, and garden are open to the public. The gift shop has a wide selection of her novels. The house had some roof damage, but reopened for tours on November 1, 2005, which was quite gutsy. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice.
