[Block 88A]

Joseph Lacroix owned this small vertical log house, which he built for himself about 1797.

The home of Joseph Lacroix once stood on the right of Olive Street, while the Pecard Barn was on the left. This view was taken from the Arch grounds looking west at the confluence of modern Third Street (now called Memorial Drive and a major, busy highway) and Olive Street (now blocked to traffic from Memorial Drive). The building on the site of the Lacroix House is the headquarters of the Peabody Coal Company.
