About Prospect Farm

Historic Architecture, Architecture, Interesting Places, Other Buildings And Structures

Prospect Farm was built by steamboat captain J. C. Jenkins on a hill overlooking Petersburg, Kentucky. Jenkins was born in Orange County, Virginia and moved to Boone County in 1832. He invested in the Boone County Distilling Company and also raised cattle on the 1,200 acres then comprising Prospect Farm.

The house includes a three-stage tower in three different styles; a two-story, semi-octagonal facade bay; and two-tier side porches. It was built in 1857 and an addition was completed in 1860. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.
