Beauchamp-Newman House, also known as the Alfred Beauchamp House and Beauchamp-Newman Museum, is a historic home located at Elizabeth, Wirt County, West Virginia. It was built in the 1830s, and is a two-story brick dwelling with hipped and gable roofs. The Beauchamp-Newman Museum, long known as the “Old Red Brick” is the oldest brick building in Elizabeth.

The museum is owned and operated by the Elizabeth Beauchamp Chapter Daughters of American Pioneers.
