Alexander Faribault's French houseA Closer LookIn 1856, Alexander Faribault moved from the frame house he had first constructed near the Straight River to a larger home with a mansard roof on the east side of the river. Roofs of this type were typically found on buildings in France, and this style of architecture is also called “French Second Empire.” In 1874 his house was sold to the State School for the Blind.
