ASHLAND (HENRY CLAY HOME)

A view of the front of the house

'Ashland' is the name of the estate of the 19th century Kentucky statesman Henry Clay, located in Lexington, Kentucky. It is a registered National Historic Landmark.
The house was built in 1806, and Clay lived there full time with his family from 1809 until his death in 1852. The adjoining farm at its largest was 600 acres (2.4 km²). Following Clay's death his son, James Brown Clay, lived at the site and continued to make changes and additions to the house. The house in its current state was completed by Clay’s son James in 1857. The Victorian interior reflects the remodeling efforts of Anne Clay McDowell, one of Clay’s granddaughters, in the 1880s.
