original columns. These columns were removed as the flood waters of 1993 had damaged them. On two of the columns are masonic symbols and on other columns are the initials of
Francois Ziegler, Henri Janis, and an "N.J." An important part of the restoration that occurred was the reconstruction of the second triangular fireplace and a missing staircase both of which had been removed in a 1860s renovation of the house.

In 1976 Norbert and Frankye Donze, a local couple involved in many historic preservation efforts in Ste. Genevieve, purchased the Janis-Ziegler House which they operated as a house museum until 1992. In 1985 Professor Osmund Overby of the

Genevieve the prior year. In 1796 he transferred the property to his son, Francois Janis. Around 1803 Francois opened up a tavern in his home. It was in this tavern that on November 14, 1807 the first

family opened up a tobacco shop in addition to the tavern becoming one of the earliest recorded tobacco shops in the area. They ran the tavern and shop until the 1850s when the family closed them down and converted the building back into a house. The

the house was inundated with water damaging it. The flood also covered the 1803 stone retaining wall, built by
Francois Janis, which is today uncovered once again for visitors to behold. Subsequently, in 1996 it was purchased by Hilliard J. Goldman, who began an extensive restoration of the house.

led a second HABS team to document the house. It was during the time of the survey that Dr. Richard
Guyette, also of the University of Missouri, took core samples of the logs which dated the house's construction to circa 1790-1791, one of the few houses whose traditional date was not challenged in

Missouri in 2017, but after only a few years of state ownership it was given to the National Park Service in 2020. It is currently a part of the Ste. Genevieve National Historical Park, which was authorized in 2018 and established in 2020.
