History

[edit]

The two-story farmhouse features "vernacular Greek Temple" architecture; the architect is unknown.[2] It was built around 1875, and owned by Philomen Bird sometime before 1888.[3] In 1890, Winford and Lucy Day Bailey purchased the property from Bird.[2]

The Bailey family lived at the house and ran it as a 208 acres (84 ha) farm until the death of Mrs. Bailey in 1936.[2] During the active years of the farm they farmed and raised tobacco, cattle, corn, and pigs.[2] The land around the house is planted with old walnut trees, maple trees, redbud trees, and locust trees.[2]

Its listing followed a 1986–1987 study of the historic resources of Shelby County.[4] The house was located within a 2019 study area for routing of a new highway connecting Interstate 65 and Interstate 71 avoiding Louisville.[5]
