François Baby House
François Baby House, National historic site in Windsor, Canada
The François Baby House stands as a two-story Georgian brick structure at 254 Pitt Street West in downtown Windsor, featuring period architecture and design.
During the War of 1812, American General William Hull and British Major General Isaac Brock used this residence as their military headquarters in succession.
The building contains permanent galleries dedicated to Windsor's French-Canadian heritage, military conflicts, and local historical developments through extensive artifact collections.
The museum maintains regular opening hours throughout the year, offering guided tours and research opportunities in its archives for visitors and scholars.
The property started as a French-Canadian ribbon farm, stretching in a narrow strip from the Detroit River, reflecting early French settlement patterns.
