Guibourd House

The Guibourd House, also known as La Maison de Guibourd, is an example of poteaux-sur-solle (vertical post on sill or foundation) sealed with bouzillage (usually a mixture of clay and grass) construction. The structure was built around 1806 and was the home of Jacques Jean Rene Guibourd and his family. The house is operated as a historic house museum by the Foundation for Restoration of Ste. Genevieve, Inc.

The building is allegedly haunted by three "little old men"; electrical interference; the sounds of a male voice, footsteps, bangs and crashes; and dogs reacting to something unseen to the human eye.
