Additional Comments
The Chateau was the family homestead, and one of the few modern homes (i.e., running water, electricity, telephone). Arpin lived from 1826?-1892. Later owners included Georgianna Arpin Buckley, Beverely Wenzel Reddick, Dane Dahl, and William and Faye Collier. The c.1885 Queen Anne house next door is the home of Arpin's son, Dan.
