Site of Flanders House

Built in 1831, possibly one of the first homes built in Paris. It was made of brick and wood. It was also the home of the first county court of Monroe County and the building in which the First Christian Church was organized in 1832. The old house had 14 inch solid brick outside walls, with solid brick division walls between rooms and was one and one half stories high with six rooms. On the west area of the grounds an ice house was built underground. Torn down and Senior Citizen apartments built on site.
