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.

The house was the perfect size for me, my daughter, her husband and my five grandchildren. We were able to walk to restaurants and attractions which was very convenient. My daughter and I loved the house and especially the beautiful kitchen.

We loved the property. When looking at all the listings in Baton Rouge this was one of the only historic homes. The photos are excellent online but still do not do it justice. The character, quality and feel of this home are amazing! We will definitely be staying again!!

We were in town for a wedding, and the Rex House was the perfect place for everything we wanted. The house itself was spacious, and allowed us to be comfortable and have our personal space while still being a place we could all be together. The proximity to downtown was perfect for walking to meet the bridal party after we returned from the reception. Would highly recommend staying here for anyone who’s looking to be surrounded by friends and family in a historic location and quiet neighborhood!
