The Bell House, individually Listed on the National Register of Historic Places was built

The house became the residence of his son, D. D. Bell who died in 1892 and left the place in trust to his daughter Clara. Bell Court was developed beginning in 1906 on the 56-acre tract of land with 5 acres remaining with the house. The house and five acres was given to the city of Lexington in 1940 by Clara Bell Ward and today is a delightful park, the heart of the Bell Court Historic District.
 
611 East Main Street is built on lot 22 of the Bell Place Land Company’s subdivision of the 51-acre tract of land it purchased from Clara Bell Ward in 1906. Hendricks, Moore & Young or the Williamson Brothers built the house in 1913. Both firms built many of the neighboring houses and were high-end builders of the period.

The house is a cubic-form three-bay important Arts & Crafts style house built with dark yellow wire-cut brick. The house has a pedimented double-window dormer divided by flat pilasters. The windows in the house are primarily double-hung with a three-over-one sash configuration. The full-width front porch has plain square posts with a balustrade of turned spindles crowing the porch roof.

A two-year total renovation has just been completed and this exceptional house is now being offered for sale for $639,900. Please contact me for more detailed information on what has to be one of the best-renovated houses I have ever had the privilege to sell.
