314 Merino Street is a simple Craftsman style cottage with jerkin headed gable in the Woodward Heights Historic District steps from Rupp Arena and the center of downtown in Lexington Kentucky. The house is thought to have been built and finished just before the beginning of the First World War in July 1914.
Hiram Shaw, a hat maker back in the days when everyone needed a good hat, originally owned the land. Shaw’s family had owned

Bell purchased the circa 1820 Late Federal Shaw house and…

The Bell House, individually Listed on the National Register of Historic
Places was built from drawings by architect Major Thomas Lewinski and completed in 1846 for David Sayer and sold shortly there after to Henry Bell.
