TATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE (Include Personages, Datee, E writs, ErcO

The Guibourd House and grounds survive as part of the first

permanent French settlement in Missouri. Although gables,

window sash, clapboard, etc. have been changed on this French

colonial structure, the house and property remain a superb

example of French colonial period architecture and domestic

planning in the :2.ssissippi Valley.

Jacques Dubreuil CJuibourd acquired title to the property in

1.199. He had been a slave holder in Santo Bord.ngo to which

he care fro:; Angers, France. In Santo Doinir.go he served as

secretary to a wealthy planter. Having left Santo Iiordr.go

during a slave uprising in the 17?0s, he settled in Ste.

Genevieve.. Here, he married and became an active participant

in the life of the town, serving on the territorial district

court and as trustee of the Ste. Genevieve Acadeny. (Firrdn

A. Hosier, hosier's History of the early sett.ler.ent of the

Ilississippi J/allcy, lego, pp. 12ii-12?.;———————————
