Built in the Federal style by local mill owner Henry M. Clay, this house was purchased in 1830 by Nicholas Meriwether Lewis, who added the Greek Revival front portico and a parlor mantle and trim from the Thomas Day workshop. The large boxwoods were part of a formal 19th century garden. Captain James Irvine was a later owner, and Carolyn Moore Thomas saved the house from ruin in the 1970s.
