🏛️ Beauregard Town

Beauregard Town, also known as Beauregard Town Historic District, is a historic district in downtown Baton Rouge, Louisiana, anchored by Government Street. Elias Beauregard commissioned Arsène Lacarrière-Latour to draw up the plans to develop his plantation property into a town in the "Grand European Manner". Advertisements for the scheme were circulated in 1806, though many lots remained empty until the late nineteenth century when Baton Rouge was designated as the state capitol. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. It is the second-oldest neighborhood in Baton Rouge.
