Description: This is the detached kitchen behind the Bolduc House. Detached kitchens were built to keep the heat of the kitchen fire out of the house in summer and to spare the house should the kitchen catch fire. 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.
