This house is one of the few remaining examples of the French colonial architecture that once characterized the first settlement of Switzerland County. Built in 1828 this style of dwelling was once common throughout the Mississippi Valley. Jacob and Charlotte Weaver, the builders and the home’s first occupants, were among the early vintners in the county.
