Ward Hall was the summer home of Mississippi planter Junius Ward. It was designed by Englishman Major Thomas Lewinski off of designs by Minard Lafever. Ward paid $50,000 in gold for its construction, which was completed in 1857. It was rescued from a local developer who had slated it for demolition and is in the process of being restored. . . #architecture #architecturelovers #arkytecture #kentuckyarchitecture #archi_ologie #oldhouselove #oldhouse #kentucky #sharethelex #georgetownky #greekrevival #greekrevivalarchitecture (at Ward Hall Preservation Foundation)
