Felix Vallé House State Historic Site
Felix Vallé House State Historic Site preserves several early 19th-century structures in Ste. Genevieve, Missouri, including the Felix Vallé House (1818), the Dr. Benjamin Shaw House (1819), and the Bauvais-Amoureux House (1792).[2] The Felix Vallé House was built by Jacob Phillipson, a Jewish merchant from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and was the home of Felix Vallé and Odile Pratte-Vallé.[2] The house is a Federal style limestone building that features an authentically stocked mercantile store representing the historic trading firm of Menard & Vallé. Original mantels and interior trim with early Empire furnishings complete the family living quarters. An outdoor staircase leads to the second floor bedrooms. The garden area features original brick and frame outbuildings.[3] Building tours are offered.
