Beauregard-Keyes House, Greek Revival house in French Quarter, New Orleans, United States.
The Beauregard-Keyes House at 1113 Chartres Street was designed by François Correjolles and built by James Lambert in 1826 for auctioneer Joseph LeCarpentier. Correjolles combined a Creole cottage with Greek Revival features, including a Palladian façade, while keeping a central hall; Creole forms appear in the interior, rear elevation, cabinet gallery and detached outbuildings.
The building was constructed in 1826 and gained recognition through two notable residents: Confederate General P.G.T. Beauregard and author Frances Parkinson Keyes. Each occupant left their mark on the home's place in history.
The house displays antique dolls, teapots, and folk costumes collected by its residents, reflecting the lives and interests of people who lived here across different eras. These objects show what mattered to the families who called this place home.
The house offers guided tours that let visitors explore the interior and see the collections on display. Wear comfortable shoes since the tour includes climbing stairs and navigating the raised main floor level.
The house appears in AMC's Interview With the Vampire: scenes set at the Fair Play Saloon and Azalea Hall were filmed inside, and the building was completely transformed for the series. Author Frances Parkinson Keyes set her 1962 novel Madame Castel's Lodger here, with Beauregard as a character.
