This old brick, last occupied by Frank L Martin, who died 1988 is located
on the George Martin farm on the McCormack’s Church Road . It is believed to have been
built between 1800 – 1810. The house has two separate basements that have entry in different rooms.
The builder of this house is rather vague, but appears they may have been from the Caldwell
Family of John Caldwell, second KY LT Gov, though it does not appear a Caldwell ever lived there.
The first resident appears to be a Thomas Shannon.

I was born and reared in this house . It is referred to as the “Walker G Rout” home in Shirley Dunn’s publication
entitled “Historic Homes of Lincoln County ” issued sometime in the 1970s. The two story part of the house
was built prior to 1800; it was a log house in which no nails were used but is pegged. The photo shows only
one chimney against the two story front. There was a similar chimney on the north side. The logs have been
covered by weather boarding prior to my memory. The house was likely built by Ca pt. Valentine Peyton’s family.
Capt Peyton’s homeplace was a similar style house less than one mile distance across Hanging Fork Creek.
The Peyton homeplace burned in the 1990s.   The Rout house has been in the James Martin family since 1933,
now owned by his son Newland. The single story ell was added in the 1800s.

This is an old house on Charles Hackley's property located at 822 Swope Road, Stanford, Ky 40484.
If you are lucky enough to catch Johnny Conley, Farm Manager and very nice guy,
with the gate open you can drive back. Otherwise, climb gate and love to walk and love cows.
Lots of cows. (non agressive today) It is at least a 2 mile round trip.

This fabulous old home is at 2350 Hustonville Road, west of Stanford.
The property owner has talked with the state about preserving it. I don't know of plans however.
An attorney friend of mine tells me the interior, trim, etc. is beautifully preserved.
What a grand old place. Found it on 3-7-06.

This old home is nearly 200 years old, built in the early 1800's. The main part of house and attic are logs, still visible from attic. It has been in the Caldwell family nearly all of its life and still is owned by one of the daughters and her husband. Known as the Walter and Emma Caldwell place. Located2 miles SW of Waynesburg, KY. on Fishing Creek. To drive to it you have to cross Fishing Creek, and if the creek is up you park and walk about 1/2 mile, and you cross this picturesque old swinging bridge, still in use. I took these pics on 2-11-06.
