Its significance:
The house was built in 1842 by Robert Costain Beauchamp (1800-1884), a highly successful gentleman farmer and businessman. He was one of the first men to introduce the plantation system with a large work force of slaves, to Western Kentucky. He was also active in state and local politics. The amply-proportioned brick house is one of the oldest in Hancock County, Kentucky.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.[1]
