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 basic architecture of the Guibourd House is very similar to other Creole-French structures around the town and throughout the French inhabited regions of the Illinois Country/territory, eastern Canada and the Louisiana territory. The structure's design has been changed only slightly over the years to accommodate the needs of the various residents, but overall retains much of the original character and style of the early 19th century French Creole architecture. The house had originally been built with 'galleries' (or wide porches) surrounding the house to keep the interior cool in the summer and the snow off in the winter. The slave quarters or kitchen was added a few years later. The kitchen building was made of brick and detached from the main house due to the dangers of fire in the food preparation areas. It too was common for these structures to have been built a few steps away from the main house to keep any fire isolated to only one building. The Guibourd kitchen, however, was built in a ‘semi-attached’ fashion, under one corner of the porch. This proved invaluable for the family and slaves when serving meals to be able to keep them hot, dry and timely. The Guibourd House has one of the only ‘original’ kitchen structures and slave quarters of this time period in Ste. Genevieve. The Guibourd House is a contributing property in the Ste. Genevieve Historic District, which is a National Historic Landmark. The house is operated as a historic house museum by the Foundation for Restoration of Ste.
