Facility:Louis Bolduc House (1785)
Description:The Bolduc House was constructed about 1785, incorporating in the structure a smaller house built in Ste. Genevieve in 1770. It was built by Louis Bolduc, a prosperous French Canadian miner, merchant, and planter.

It is the first instance of an authentic and complete restoration of a French colonial house of the Mississippi Valley.

The house is built with "posts on a sill," the heavy oak timbers set about six inches apart and infilled with plaster made from mud, Spanish moss, and animal hair. The steep roof, supported by heavy tresses held together by mortises and tenons, spreads out on all four sides to cover the gallery.
