Foubert House


The Foubert House was built in 1915 by Napoleon Foubert as a two storey “L” shaped house. The building is a balloon frame construction with a steeply pitched roof and three gables.

Speculation that the house was purchased from a catalogue has not been proven. It is known that houses similar to this could have been ordered from a catalogue and the materials delivered for assembly.
