Jarrot Mansion

The Jarrot Mansion in Cahokia, IL is a historic landmark and the oldest brick house in Illinois, built in 1810 by Nicholas Jarrot, a French-born entrepreneur and land speculator. It is known for its American Federal architectural design, distinguishing it from the traditional French Colonial style of the region.

With its two-story brick structure and unique features such as a ballroom and stone spring house, the Jarrot Mansion offers visitors a glimpse into the rich history of frontier Cahokia. Designated a National Historic Landmark in 2001, the mansion is currently undergoing restoration efforts by the Jarrot Mansion Project, Inc., a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and sharing the stories of this significant piece of Illinois history.
