Description

Noted more for its historical associations than its architecture, Robidoux Row is the last remaining structure to link St. Joseph with the French and Indian fur trade. Joseph Robidous, the founder of the city, began a fur-trading post near this site about 1826. Later, he built and lived in Robidoux Row until his death. -- Historic American Buildings Survey
