P 8 ―This Old House is Still Standing‖ by Mary Riggs LeBus This Week: Waveland Our ongoing summer tour of Kentucky's historic homes lands us at Waveland this week, six miles south of downtown Lexington. The gracious antebellum mansion was completed in 1848 by Joseph Bryan, a grandnephew of Daniel Boone. Waveland represents a way of life that has long since vanished. According to family tradition, Boone surveyed the original 2000+ acre grant for his nephew, Daniel Boone Bryan; a renowned frontiersman, historian & poet. On this land, Daniel Bryan built a stone house & equipped his estate with a number of innovations that proved to be profitable. He built a gun shop that employed 25 men, operated a gristmill, manufactured saltpeter for gunpowder, ran a blacksmith shop, a distillery, & a paper mill. He also built a Baptist Church here & established a school for females. Two years after Bryan's death, his son, Joseph tore down the old stone house & began construction on the Waveland mansion. He named the estate from the way the wind blew or waved the fields of grain & hemp surrounding the building site. The classic Greek Revival structure was inspired by the work of Lexington architect John McMurtry & was built by Washington Allen, a well known Lexington contractor. Lumber was cut from trees on the property, bricks from clay dug & burned on site, & the estate's blacksmith wrought the iron needed in construction. Stone for foundations was quarried & dressed at Tyrone on the KY River & hauled to the property. 5 huge Ionic columns grace the portico & frame the front entry. The doorway is considered to be an exact copy of the north entrance to the Erechtheum at the Acropolis in Athens. The Bryan family lavished time & money on Waveland, making it one of the showplaces of Central KY. The rooms have high ceilings for relief from the hot summer months, a wide hall, & long porches on either side of the house providing views of the countryside. Joseph Henry Bryan inherited Waveland from his father in 1887 & established the estate as one of the premier thoroughbred & trotter farms in KY. In1894, Waveland was sold to Sallie A. Scott, who sold to James A. Hulett, Sr. in 1899. In 1956, the Commonwealth of KY purchased the house & less than 200 of the original 2000 acres for the UK College of Agriculture as an experimental farm & in 1957, Waveland became a KY Life Museum. In 1971, UK deeded Waveland to the KY Dept. of Parks. Today, the mansion & outbuildings are situated on 10 acres depicting KY life on a KY plantation during the 1840's. The mansion is decorated in antebellum style & the outbuildings include a 2 story brick servants quarters, an icehouse, smokehouse & barn. Waveland State Park is open for tours Apr 1-Dec 15, Mon-Sat 10-5 pm, Sun 1-5 pm.

Paris Cemetery Gatehouse "Located at the southern end of town, the Paris Cemetery Gatehouse is a significant illustration of a Gothic Revival structure. The 1 1/2 story brick edifice consists of a 3 bay Tudor arcade flanked by cubiform blocks, the southern one housing the superintendent's office & the other originally serving as a reception area. 4 piers that arise above the battlemented parapet support the arcade. Castiron pinnacles of 2 designs cap the piers. The facades of the cubiform blocks are delineated by paired rectangular windows on the lower level & paired square windows on the upper level, & there are brick pilasters at each corner. Under the continuous wooden cornice are corbelled tables on all sides. Castiron gates enhance the arches, & a late Victorian cast-iron fence defines the cemetery are south of the gatehouse. This imposing structure was constructed ca. 1847 for the Paris Cemetery Co., incorporated on January 30, 1847. The well executed & highly functional gatehouse was designed by John McMurtry, a self-trained architect/ builder from Lexington." (Historic Architecture of Bourbon County, KY) The structure was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. Several years after the Paris project, McMurtry was commissioned by the Lexington Cemetery to design a similar gatehouse. In October, 1849, he completed his part of the construction for Lexington Cemetery at a cost of $ 2735.23. The next month, H. Moore received $ 14 for cutting stone sills for the gateway & in December W.H. Newberry, a blacksmith was paid $ 254.15 for making the 3 iron gates. The structure was more than a mere gateway. The central vehicular entrance was flanked by narrower pedestrian gates & on either side of these were reception & office rooms. Above the east gate was inscribed "Lexington Cemetery Founded A.D. 1849" and over the west gate were the words "The City of the Dead." This name was frequently used for many years by the newspapers & in burial records. In 1890, the original Gothic gatehouse was torn down and replaced with the present day Romanesque gatehouse. This not only provided larger office space but chapel seating for 125. A new gateway with entrance/exit drives & heavy iron gates was erected and still in use today. ***John McMurtry was the architect for Waveland (following page) P 16 DeSha Point Unique home lots Call: 859-588-2696 Starting @ 22-K August 18, 2011-2011 Antiques and Artwalk Downtown Georgetown. 5-8 p.m. Contact Annie Brady at 316-1958 or anniebrady.anniemals@gmail.com Sometimes you know not what you ask for !!! Two Aussies, Frank and Steve, were adrift in a lifeboat. While rummaging through the boat's provisions, Frank stumbled across an old lamp. He rubbed the lamp vigorously and a genie came forth. This genie, however, stated that he could only deliver one wish, not the standard three. Without giving much thought to the matter, Frank blurted out, "Turn the entire ocean into beer. Make that Victoria Bitter!" The genie clapped his hands with a deafening crash, and immediately the sea turned into the hard-earned thirst quencher. The genie vanished. Only the gentle lapping of beer on the hull broke the stillness as the two men considered their circumstances. Steve looked disgustedly at Frank whose wish had just been granted. After a long, tension-filled moment Steve said, "Nice going Frank! Now we're going to have to whiz in the boat." P 9
