This spacious circa 1857 Pulliam/Curry
House (414 North Main Street) was begun around 1856 by Monroe B. Pulliam and
completed by Daniel Curry and his wife, Martha Jane Forsythe, in 1857. The
Gothic Revival style is shown by the board and batten siding and lacy
bargeboards. Steep gables decorated with gingerbread, and walls of board and
batten are textbook features of the Carpenter Gothic Style.
Daniel Curry was a
noted mid-nineteenth century builder as well as a Kentucky legislator. This is
Harrodsburg's house of seven gables. The front porch features four sets of
paired columns spaced to frame the handsome doorway complete with sidelights
and transom. A double lancet window/doorway opens onto the second-floor
balcony formed by the flat porch roof. The interior of the home retains its
original woodwork and flooring. The home has 11 rooms plus two baths. The home
is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
