Description
Holly Rood was completed in 1814 the same year as our National Anthem was written. The house was built extra strong as the devastating earthquake had recently shaken the south east. The bricks were fired on location using native clay. The woods in the house came from the surrounding area. Holly Rood is a lovely example of the classic Federal style House. Thw Winchester / Clark County Heritage Commission oversees the care of the building. Used primarily as a rental property for weddings, parties, and dinners, the Commission envisions a more educational role in the future.

Our Winchester Parks & Rec keep the grounds at Holly Rood beautiful . They mow, trim, and pick up the large fallen branches. The Lady Upstairs Mary Anne Smith says she gets her exercise picking up the small branches and twigs, but she needs something to put them in! Problem solved !

This picture is from the William Ogden collection by way of Bobby Newell. It shows the Clark Family Cemetery in the background. I thought it deserved the cover!
