[Block 25C]

This small poteaux en terre (posts in the earth) house was used as a blacksmith shop by Monsieur Francois Delorier.

The site of the Delorier blacksmith shop is today on the corner of First and Franklin streets in the "Laclede's Landing" area. Soaring above the site is the Martin Luther King, Jr. Bridge. This was the site of the northernmost structure in St. Louis in 1804.
