Public Remarks

Add your chapter to the story of this iconic c. 1805 log cabin, 220 years after its construction. Thought to be the oldest surviving log residence in Lexington still on its original site, this two-story, two-bay clapboard-wrapped home offers a blend of early Kentucky heritage and downtown convenience. In 1994, the Blue Grass Trust for Historic Preservation saved the structure from demolition, undertaking a careful restoration that preserved its integrity. Today, its rich character endures through hand-hewn logs, exposed beams, very old hardwoods, two brick fireplaces, and historic cabinetry including linen ''presses.'' An updated adjoining kitchen and bath retain traditional charm. Upstairs, a sunlit bedroom provides ample space for a sitting area beside the fireplace. French doors and limestone slab steps lead to the spacious rear greenspace - a coveted & rare feature for a downtown property. A stone pathway leads to a generous, private off-street parking area accessible from Mack's Alley. Recent enhancements include a remodeled bath, exterior painting, new heat pump, a new Bosch dishwasher, and a handcrafted storm door by Bourbon Millworks. The property's R-2 zoning adds further appeal and possibilities. Design review district.
