"Martin Intress House. 52 North Third Street, c. 1842 to 1846.
Property type: German brick building. Documentary research indicates that the
Martin Intress House is the oldest surviving German vernacular building in Ste.
Genevieve. Three bays wide and a single-story in height, this side-gabled
building is of brick construction. A wood-framed ell projects from the rear wall
of the small house. Its walls are laid in five-course American bond, and lintels
are formed of brick jack arches. The original multi-light windows have been
replaced by one-over-one, double hung sash on the facade, although a
six-over-six, double hung window remains in the south facade wall and
three-over-one windows are placed in the north wall.. The foundation is
constructed of rubble, and die roof is sheathed in standing seam metal. Portions
of this rooting have rusted through. Typical of German vernacular buildings, the
gable ends are parapeted with brick chimneys rising from the gable peaks." ~
