It is located just 7 min from LSU and walking distance to Downtown Baton Rouge's Dining, Entertainment and Nightlife this home has come back to life and welcomes new stories, memories, and laughter for you and your family.
The Rex House (circa 1850) was recently updated in 2018. Under the direction of, and with collaboration by, the US Department of the Interior and the Louisiana Department of Historic Preservation, the Rex House was designated as a contributing property of the Historic Beauregard Town District. Originally built as a 4 room one story home without a kitchen or bathrooms, the original home was expanded around 1910 to include a kitchen with Victorian accents.

Today the original 3 down stairs rooms and original wood floors are preserved for your enjoyment as well as the hand crafted stair case and two upstairs rooms including the graciously large master suite.
