Discovering the Treasures of Chateau Bellevue
4th Grade Curriculum Guide
Chateau Bellevue, also known as the North-Evans Chateau, is one of Austin’s few surviving large-scale Victorian residences. Built in 1874, the eclectic Romanesque Revival exterior and interior reflect the style fashionable in the late 19th century high society.
