J. McClintock House 1886-90

Duncan Avenue
- Paris,
Kentucky
-
- Complementing
the collection of late nineteenth century houses at the
end of Duncan Avenue, this substantial brick dwelling is
one of the most sophisticated and intact Queen Anne
dwellings in Paris. Its asymmetrical massing is
emphasized by the corner tower with conical roof,
balanced by the front gable. The pyramidal roof is
distinguished by tall panelled chimneys and a variety of
dormers including an eyelid dormer on the front and
triangular and shed dormers on the sides. Round-arched
and rectangular windows with rusticated stone trim
delineate the surf aces of the structure. An encirculing
verandah unifies the corner tower and gable.

- Built
in the last decades of the nineteenth century, this house
was one of the last erected in the new residential block
between Pleasant and Vine Streets. By 1908 it was the
home of banker John J. McClintock and his wife Kate, who
left it as home for elderly ladies.
