Significance: One of three surviving examples of the distinctive upright log construction (poteaux en terre) in Ste. Genevieve. This post in ground construction was the predominant type in the colonial period. The three that survive--the Amoureaux House (HABS MO-1113), the Vital St. Gemme Bauvais House (HABS MO-1121), and this one--are made of cedar logs, and are large, well-constructed buildings. All three have impressive trussed roofs. This house preserved all the essentials of its original form inspite of later alterations.
