William Whitley House - Built between 1785 and 1792 in Stanford Kentucky was the first brick house built west of the Allegheny Mountains. It is noted for its interesting architectural detail both exterior and interior. The front elevation of the house is laid in a Flemish bond pattern. Over the front entrance made from glazed brick are the letters W.W. standing for William Whitley and over the back entrance are the letters E.W. made in the same way, standing for his wife Ester Whitley. The home is now a Kentucky State Shine and a registered National Historic Landmark.
