    Form No. 10-300a (Rev. 10-74) UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES INVENTORY - NOMINATION FORM Historic Resources of Ashland CONTINUATION SHEET ITEM NUMBER 8_____PAGE 3______________________ BATH AVENUE HISTORIC DISTRICT Statement of Significance Since the inception of the Kentucky Iron, Coal and Manufacturing Company's plan for Ashland, western Bath Avenue has been considered to be the city's most prestigious residential neighborhood. The first two houses on the street were built in 1855-56 by Hugh and John Means, prominent Ohio iron industrialists who moved to Ashland in conjunction with the Kentucky Iron, Coal and Manufacturing Company. Through the early twentieth century, property on the street was essentially reserved for local industry owners and managers who were related by family or business connections. Multiple lots continued to be held by families, and only one or two houses occupied each block in 1877, according to the Titus, Simmons Atlas map of Ashland. As a result of the slow development of the street, the neighborhood is now characterized by a diversity of architectural styles that is not seen elsewhere in Ashland. Although the neighborhood previously extended for six blocks along Bath Avenue, large-scale commercial development in the 1200 block has severed the western end of the street, and reduced the length of the coherent neighborhood to four blocks. Therefore the National Register boundary has not been extended beyond 13th Street.
