The Thomas Metcalfe House in Robertson County, Kentucky was the first house of Thomas Metcalfe (1780–1855), 10th governor of Kentucky (during 1828–1832). The house was built by Metcalfe, a stonemason and building contractor, in c.1810.[1]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987 as Thomas Metcalf House, using an alternative accepted spelling of the governor's name; the listing included the stone house and a smokehouse, on a 45acres property that also included a non-contributing barn.
Its location was given in the 1984 document as "6/10 mile south of U.S. 61, 1-1/2 mile east of Kentucky 617, two miles east of Kentontown, near Mt. Olivet."[1] It appears to be the house at intersection of what are now named Willie Curtis Rd. and Cedar Creek Rd., at 38.4969°N -84.0939°W. This is 2.8 miles east of Kentontown by road or 4.5 miles southwest of Olivet by road.[2]
A later home of Thomas Metcalfe, Forest Retreat in Nicholas County, is also listed on the National Register.
