From the Nov. 17, 2014, State Journal, Frankfort, Kentucky "200 Year Old Home of Congressman and War of 1812 veteran to be demolished."
The Harrison County Fiscal Court voted to demolish the home of U.S. Congressman and War of 1812 veteran Colonel William Brown. It sits in the middle of Flat Run Veterans Park and they want a swimming pool on the site.
The home looks rough on the outside but structurally sound.
During the War of 1812, he commanded a Kentucky regiment and worked closely with Henry Clay on the Missouri Compromise.. he and his family had connections to the Todd/Lincoln families as well.
I would hate to see it torn down, especially for a pool.
