Description: A photograph showing the Norman Truss in the Bolduc House. The truss is made from hewn oak. The Bolduc House was built in 1740 by Peter Bolduc, a very prominent merchant in Ste. Geneviève, Missouri. The house, along with the rest of the village, was moved to its present location on higher ground in 1785 to escape flooding from the Mississippi River.
