This is a photograph showing the log walls of the Amoureaux House in Ste. Geneviève, Missouri . Note the log walls entering the ground. This is poteaux-en-terre construction. Also note that the stone piers provide support to the floor above that is independent of the walls. The Amoureaux House, sometimes called the Bauvais-Amoureux House, was built in in 1793 in Ste. Geneviève, Missouri . It was built by Benjamin Amoureaux, who came from France. It is currently operated as a museum by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources. It is one of three poteaux-en-terre buildings that survive. The others are the Bequet-Ribault House and the Vital St. Gemme Beauvais House I (20 S. Main Street). |
