This stately 1818 mansion still has its original wallpaper, paint schemes, and even some of its furnishings. The kitchen, slave quarters, and work yard are much as they were when the original occupants lived here, making this one of the most complete examples of urban slave life. Confederate general P. G. T. Beauregard made his headquarters here in 1864.

One of the most interesting of the houses to tour in this city. Unlike the rest, the house is not restored inside and still has its original out-buildings. Despite this, there's a wealth of architectural detail inside and interesting, if faded, family furnishings. There are some period art reproductions inside its old art gallery. A must for this kind of attraction.
