Historic Downtown Baton Rouge Home Almost Restored

Beale House "almost new again"

One of the historic Baton Rouge real estate landmarks is the Beale House in downtown Baton Rouge. This home in historic Beauregard Town is a treasure that was almost destroyed by fire over a year ago. Since then, damage from rain had only intensified matters. But the owner, Julia Sims, perservered in restoring the home built in 1830 by Judge Robert G. Beale and purchased by Sims’ family in the 1940s. The Advocate reports on the uniqueness of the Beale House to the Beauregard Town area:

As time went on, the old houses in the Beauregard Town area were torn
down for development, leaving the Beale House as one of the few
remnants of its generation.
