This Gothic Revival apartment building was once a French
Baptist mission[1]. It was
built in 1873 and was located at the intersection of Spring Street and Walnut
Street. The former mission was purchased and moved to its current location in
1904 by J.E. Lanou who used the building as warehouse for hardware and plumbing
supplies. Before its relocation the building was adorned with a bell tower and
a vestibule.[2] Despite its
history, the building has retained its integrity and detail.
