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 Revolutionary War Veteran Dr. Henry Clay, (distant cousin of politician Henry Clay) in 1787.
The property 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 that 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 Povall, are buried there along with other family members.[2]
