Bell House, Red Lick Community of Metcalfe Co., KY



2016-02-26 - 7310 Columbia Road, Edmonton, KY (Red Lick Community) - Photo from Commonwealth News Center.
Bell House, 7310 Columbia Road, Edmonton, KY vicinity,; authored by Janie-Rice Brother, senior architectural historian with the Kentucky Archaeological Survey. The Bell House was constructed between 1907 and 1909 for Curtis A. Bell and his wife, Cora, and designed by Albert Killian of Owensboro. A native of Adair County, Bell was a merchant and farmer and his wife was the daughter of a locally prominent merchant, farmer and lumber dealer, J.H. Kinnaird. According to the author, Kinnaird financed the building of the structure, a 2-story frame house clad in clapboards with vertical wood siding and a distinctive two-story tower - a merging of Queen Anne and classical styles. The house was listed under Criterion C, evaluated within the historic context "Architecture in Metcalfe County, 1880-1910." According to the author, "the house itself embodies the vernacular traditions persistent in Kentucky, where popular national styles remained relevant for years after they passed out of favor in more urban areas. But at the same time, the attention to detail, and the high style of finishes in the house set it apart from all other houses built in the same time period in the local architectural arena. The Bell House is significant locally as a rural architect-designed dwelling in the Free Classic style."
