The William Mathers House, on Kentucky Route 36 in Nicholas County, Kentucky near Carlisle, was started in 1812. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[1]
It includes elements of Greek Revival and Federal architecture.
It was started in 1812 by William Mathers as a two-room four-bay Federal-style brick building, with brick laid in Flemish bond. The bricks were fired on site, using clay brought about 10 miles from Pleasant Valley.[2]
Around 1858 a two-story Greek Revival section, also using Flemish bond masonry, was added by William Mathers' son Barton W. Mathers. Around 1920 a Colonial Revival porch was added over the entrance to this section.[2]
