Default Does Sarah Morgan's home still stand?

About 10 years ago, after reading The Civil War Diary Of A Southern Woman (great book!), I was in Baton Rouge with my son and I can swear she lived just a few blocks from the river. I thought it was something like 4th street, yet, somewhere on the web, someone mentioned it was Church Street (which seems too far for a cannonball to fall). Does anyone know the exact street and does her house still exist? My book is packed away. I remember being on her street and we also walked past one of the huge buildings where she stayed for a time. There is a picture in the book. The original wrought iron fence is still there! I was thrilled to see it as we walked along the sidewalk, next to it.

I was hoping to get a street view of it, but there is only the arial, birdseye view.

belle1862 is on a distinguished road
Sarah house once stood at the current site of the 8 story Bank One bldg in baton rouge. There is a marker there dedicated to her but you have to know where it is too find it.. It is hidden away now in the alcoves of the outer walkway of the bldg.. So much history hidden by a high rise.. So sad...
