This is a 2007 photograph of the East facade of the Amoureaux (Amoureux) House in Ste. Geneviève, Missouri. The Amoureaux House, sometimes called the Bauvais-Amoureux House, was built in in 1793 in Ste. Geneviève, Missouri. It was built by Benjamin Amoureaux, who came from France. It is currently operated as a museum by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources. It is one of three poteaux-en-terre buildings that survive. The others are the Bequet-Ribault House and the Vital St. Gemme Beauvais House I (20 S. Main Street).

The broken pitch roof shape is known as a bonnet, witche's cap. pepper pot, bishops mitre, and bell-cast roof. All of which may be two sided like a gable roof or four sided like a hip roof.
