Antoine O'Neille House - Ste. Genevieve, Missouri - Pre-Victorian Historic Homes on Waymarking.com

"Antoine O'Neille House. 150 South Main Street, c. 1810-1820. Property type: Anglo-American timber-frame house. With its recessed front gallery porch, this five-bay, timber frame, I-house shows the influence of French vernacular design on non- French buildings. The porch, which rests on a limestone rubble foundation, has a roof supported by wood box columns. A central door is sheltered by the porch and is flanked by paired, six-over-six, double hung, sash windows. The facade wall is stuccoed while the remaining walls are sheathed in clapboard. A limestone chimney adjoins the south gable end. A possible former rear porch has been enclosed. The roof is sheathed in wood shingles.

O'Neille purchased the lot on which the house was built in 1810, and the house is first mentioned in an 1820 deed. The house was damaged by fire in 1982. Examination of the structure by University of Missouri researchers after the fire indicated that it was originally a five-bay, single-story building to which an upper half-story was later added."  ~ Historic District National Register Nomination Form
