Property Description
A grand estate cast in brick and stone, 431 W. Third remains an enduring icon on one of Lexington's early prominent avenues. Built at the turn of the last century by businessman Richard T. Anderson, the home is Richardsonian Romanesque in style, reflecting the migration of Gilded Age sensibilities westward. As the son of a ''housejoiner,'' Anderson & family had long been enmeshed in the architecture of early Lexington. Anderson was intimately involved in the creation of John McMurtry's iconic Floral Hall (1882) and, as a director of Northern Bank, helped realize the bank's still-standing headquarters at the corner of Short & Market. A progression of residences constructed by him each reveal homes more sturdy and more highly- ornamented than the last. 431 West 3rd, Anderson's last, is his masterwork. The Richardsonian Romanesque style's eclectic nature provides a canvas for self-expression. Stonework is a medium for personally-selected, symbolic mascarons and botanical elements.
