The Philomen Bird House is a late 19th-century farmhouse in Shelby County, Kentucky near Bagdad, Kentucky. It has also been called the Winford and Lucy Day Bailey House. The house has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since December 27, 1988, for the architecture.[2]

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]
