Berry House_______ Franklin County, Kentucky Description of Physical Appearance George F. Berry House Frankfort, Kentucky The George F. Berry House (FR-F-7) located at 700 Louisville Road Frankfort, Kentucky was constructed in 1900 with a music room added in 1912. The original house design is attributed to William J. Dodd and Arthur Cobb of Louisville. The music room design is attributed to William J. Dodd and Kenneth McDonald. The 22-room, two-story stone mansion with the fa9ade oriented toward the southwest. The stone was quarried at the estate and from it the mansion walls were constructed with widths exceeding two feet. The roof is now covered with terra cotta tiles; however, information has recently surfaced indicating that the original shingles were made from cypress. The structure rests on a solid stone foundation, which provides for a large basement. Fenestration is all original to the structure and intact. The main structure was completed in the Colonial Revival Style with additional Richardsonian Romanesque characteristics. Included among these distinct characteristics are large arches completed in heavy ashlar stone voussoirs and short thick columns that support the second floor balcony on the structure's southern elevation. The north elevation contains a long, columned piazza that is reminiscent of English country estates. The structure's service area is connected to the house by a 25' covered colonnade. Both the colonnade and wash house are part of the original 1900 construction. This colonnade terminates at a low eave; that one-story structure is completed in stone and echoes the main house's style. This structure originally served as the servant's quarters and laundry. The house is a central hall plan with rooms on either side. The main facade faces to the South. The central hallway was constructed with large entrances containing mahogany doors with sidelights and fanlight at both front and rear. These appointments still remain intact and are in good condition. The original door casings and the decorative casing associated with the staircase are still intact. The main staircase, which is to the left side of the central hall, is still present and in excellent condition. A large leaded glass Venetian window that is adorned with a floral motif crowns the staircase's main landing. Additionally, on the central hall's left side a narrow hallway accomplished in tongue-and- groove connects the original kitchen to the rest of the structure. Contained within this hallway is a service staircase that still remains. The kitchen is in good condition and retains its historic fabric with the exception of a drop ceiling that was added during the 1980s. The dining room and butler's pantry is also located to the left of the central hall.

Berry House____ Franklin County, Kentucky Both of these rooms retain their original historic fabric complete with the built-in cabinets constructed in the butler's pantry. The dining room retains its original fireplace mantle as well as an alcove where the Berry's sideboard resided. A dish rail is present above that alcove. The library resides to the right of the central hall. This room, completed in Flemish oak, is in remarkable condition. The wainscoting is intact and in excellent condition. The room retains the original fireplace mantel and built-in bookcases. The library originally contained tapestries that were hung on the walls above the oak wainscoting. Three of the original tapestries remain in that room. The drawing room is located next to the library and to the right of the central hallway. The dining room, library and drawing room can be closed from the central hall by pocket doors. The drawing room retains its original mantle and casings as well.

    N O I G E R S S A R G E U L B This region, centered around Lexington, is known for its bluegrass. However, bluegrass is not really blue — it’s green. In the spring, bluegrass produces bluish-purple buds that when seen in large fields give a rich blue cast to the grass. Today those large “bluegrass” fields are home to some of the best known horse farms in the world. With more than 500 horse farms in and around Lexington, the area is known as the Horse Capital of the World.

  • Crowd Sourced Brand Arriving in Stores Now
    Contact: Kristie Wooldridge PR Associate Manager, Communications [email protected] 502-783-5652 Whiskey Website Data Proves That Drinkers Maintain Consistent Bourbon Preference Crowd Sourced Brand Arriving in Stores Now FRANKFORT, FRANKLIN COUNTY, KY (July 9, 2020) –Buffalo Trace Distillery launched an interactive website (www.yourperfectbourbon.com) in the fall of 2015 designed to teach people about bourbon whiskey. Two years later, 2017, more than 100,000 fans had participated in crafting their perfect bourbon and the results were amazingly similar. In response, Buffalo Trace released a new product to offer fans what they were asking for. This crowd sourced brand was called Weller CYPB, short for Craft Your Perfect Bourbon. Now, just two years since the launch of Weller CYPB, the number of people using the website has tripled to 300,000, and the results remain overwhelmingly consistent. The interactive “Craft Your Perfect Bourbon” website data shows whiskey drinkers prefer wheat recipe bourbon, aged 8 years on the top warehouse floors and bottled somewhere between 90-99 proof. Fans will again have the opportunity to enjoy this crowd-sourced favorite, as the annual release of Weller CYPB will begin arriving in stores this summer. Although very limited, one batch of this bourbon is produced each year. The recommended price is $49.99. “Two years ago we were amazed to see the website data indicate such a strong preference amongst countless possibilities,” Senior Marketing Director Kris Comstock said. “We took that feedback from 100,000 fans to heart. Now with more than 300,000 participants, it is wonderful to see an overwhelming majority of fans still prefer bourbon with the specifications of our Weller CYPB.
