Malus-Beauregard House, LA

The first owner of the Malus-Beauregard House was Madeleine Pannetier Malus, a widow who purchased land from the St. Amand brothers when they divided the Chalmet plantation into small tracts in 1832.  Malus built a French Colonial house the following year.  After her death in 1835, Caroline Fabre Cantrelle bought the house and remodeled it to the Greek Revival style it bears today.  Its last private owner was Rene Beauregard, son of Confederate General P.G.T. Beauregard.  The New Orleans Terminal Company then owned the property until 1949, when it became part of Chalmette National Historic Park.
