"The construction is similar to that of the BEQUET-RIBAULT HOUSE
(private} near it to the south, which has walls of cedar posts planted
vertically in the ground (poteaux en terre), and originally had galéries
on all four sides, with whitewashed, plastered walls. Despite changes, many
interesting details have been preserved, such as the en queue d'aronde shutters
pegged with wooden pins." - Missouri: A Guide to the "Show Me" State,
1941, pg 280.
The house has been restored and is a contributing building in a National
Historic Landmark Historic District.
