McGulpin House, French Canadian residence in Mackinac Island, Michigan, United States.

The McGulpin House features white pine logs with dovetailed corners, a bark roof, and beaded clapboarding on its exterior walls.

William and Madeline McGulpin purchased the house in 1819, where they operated a bakery supplying bread to the American Fur Company.

The building represents a working-class French Canadian architectural style from the late 18th century, with hand-sawn timbers and traditional construction methods.

Visitors can explore this historic house museum at the corner of Fort Street and Market Street during summer months through Mackinac Island State Park.

Scientific analysis through dendroarchaeology and wood sampling confirmed the construction date between 1790 and 1791 on Mackinac Island.
