A. H. Fretageot and Co. Store on Main St. between Church St. and Granary St., this was originally the Rappite/Harmonist dormitory no. 2.""Dormitory Number Two, called Bruder (Brother) Haus by the Harmonists, was built to accommodate both single men and women. Completed in 1822, Dormitory No. 2 was one of the major communal buildings of the Harmonie Society and housed forty to sixty people. It is a full story taller than other Harmonist dormitories. Constructed of heavy timber framing, as were all Harmnist buildings, it was nogged with lightly baked porous brick to serve as insulation and firewall. The outer face was bricker and the inner ploastered and painted. Dutch biscuits, mud-plastered straw-wrapped boards, were used between floors for insulation. The building has sixteen fireplaces, fifteen of which were used for heating and one for winter cooking.". After 1825, during the Owen/Maclure period, Dormitory No. 2 was used as a school, functioning as the center for William Maclure's educational experiments with Pestalozzian teaching. Between 1831 and 1940 the building housed a variety of businesses including a hotel, tavern, print shop, cigar factory, and hardware store." (Walker, Janet R. Walker's Guide to New Harmony's History. Historic New Harmony, 1996. p. 15-16) A. H. Fretageot is Achilles Henry (1842-1906). The Fretageot family's association with New Harmony began thus:""Marie Duclos was born in France and at some unknown date married Joseph Fretageot. She met William Maclure in Paris in 1819, not long after he had become President of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia. Madame Fretageot moved to Philadelphia in 1821, where she established a school and, like Maclure, became interested in Robert Owen's principles for social reform. In 1826 both Maclure and Madame Fretageot moved to New Harmony to join in Robert Owen's experimental community. For reasons of health, Maclure resided there only a short time, but Madame Fretageot remained and managed his continuing financial support of science and education in New Harmony?against great odds. In February, 1833 she joined Maclure in Mexico City, and that August, she died there."
