Too bad no one is living there and/or keeping it up. Such a neat house.
I'd like to talk to the current owner of this house. Do you know who that is? Do you have a GPS location for the house?
I do not know the present owners name but there are Mexican workers living and working on the farm. The Woodford Co. PVA could probably tell you.
Steve, I have come a cross a book that apparently was given to a J.W. Hammond from William A. Wade, Moss House, Versailles Ky. The book dates back to 1904, but there are notes on the margins that date to the 1940's. I was searching for info about William A. Wade and found that he was a member of the American Saddle Horse Breeders in the 1920's. Would be familiar with this name? Thanks Ken M
