John C. Brown House

The John C. Brown House, in Shelby County, Kentucky near Mulberry, Kentucky, was built around 1837, and it has additions done in approximately the 1960s. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. The property was deemed significant under the National Registers' criterion for design and construction, "as a well-preserved example of the early 19th century 1-story, frame, center-passage, single-pile plan in Shelby County," balancing out the several different-but-from-the-same-period frame I-houses which had been identified in the study. It features "antebellum vernacular" style and was built. It was listed as a result of a large 1986-1987 study of the historic resources of Shelby County.
The house appeared "to have been built by John Cameron Brown shortly after his marriage to Sarah Ann Waters on September 12, 1837, on land he inherited from his uncle and guardian, the Rev. Archibald Cameron, it is way back up a longish driveway, which in the summer is surrounded by very tall corn. The house faces east, away from the lane.
It is located within a multi-county study area for routing of a new highway connecting Interstate 65 and Interstate 71 avoiding Louisville.
