Posted December 15, 200717 yr William Tarr House Resting along a major two-lane highway that snakes through the mammoth horse farms of central Kentucky, this imposing two-story Federal-style mansion was constructed before the Civil War and had improvements conducted after the war in the way of additions and Italianate trim throughout. It has been abandoned since 1987 and it has been deteriorating quite steadily. The second floor is approximately 40% traversable, whereas most of the first floor is in good condition. See the URL above for the history and for even more photos! one This room features classic 1970s faux wood panelling, black satin doors with white porcelain door knobs, and a vintage hanging light fixture. two An exterior porch that connected one side of the house to another. It slopes downward so it is unsafe to continue through. A room to the right offers interior passage but it slopes downward by about five feet at its midpoint. three These are safe for now, although a deteriorated exterior cornice has all but rotted away and one can see the outside. four Entry hall. The evening sun came out long enough to allow me to capture this shot. five Not seen is the impressive plaster molding on the ceiling and rich woods that still adorn the rooms. six Player piano. Enjoy!
