GIRARDIN HOUSE Built in two phases between 1786 and 1807, in the heart of the village of Fargy, this house is representative of the rural dwellings built in the 17th and 18th centuries. Its style demonstrates the continuation of the architectural traditions of New France after the colony was ceded to Great Britain in 1763. Characteristic features include the steeply pitched gable roof, thick walls with irregular openings, chimneys set in the gable walls, and low foundations. The Girardin family owned the house from the time of its construction until 1925.

MAISON GIRARDIN Construite en deux temps entre 1786 et 1807, au cœur du bourg du Fargy, cette maison est représentative des habitations rurales bâties aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles. Ses caractéristiques stylistiques témoignent de la pérennité des traditions architecturales de la Nouvelle-France après la cession de la colonie à la Grande-Bretagne en 1763. L’influence française se traduit par le toit aigu à deux versants droits, les murs épais aux ouvertures irrégulières, les cheminées situées dans les murs pignons et les fondations basses. La famille Girardin est propriétaire de la maison depuis sa construction jusqu’en 1925.

The Articles of Confederation marker in Pennsylvania stands under a mile from where William Gabby lived in the 1760s.

What that marker records spans 1777 to 1789, overlapping William Gabby's years there.
