User:MattHanc1/Dr. Henry Clay House

The Dr. Henry Clay House near Paris, Kentucky was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.^[1]

Located in the Bluegrass region of Kentucky, this house was built by early 19th-century Kentucky state representative Henry Clay in 1888 shortly after his arrival to Kentucky. Following his admission to the bar in Virginia in 1797^[2], he would then build the Ashland Estate in Lexington, Kentucky, where he would remain until his death in 1852^[3].

The property, located runs along a farm road which goes southwest from Winchester Road in Bourbon County, Kentucky. The house, known locally as "the Fort", is a very early small stone house built as a rare double pen, with one-and-one-half stories with interior end chimneys. The lower floor has two rooms and stairs in the northeast corner lead up to a second floor. A frame shed was the most recent addition on the east side of the house, used to store hay. The north side of the property contains a family cemetery, where Henry and his wife, Rachel, are buried there along with other family members.^[4]
