SOMERSET HALL

 

Somerset Hall is a single family residence also known as the Kenner-Closson House.  This was the second major country villa built in Ludlow, c. 1840s, in the Greek Revival style. It features a central pavilion with setback wings and a 120-ft continuous rear gallery, the longest porch in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.  It was built by George and Butler Kenner, of a Louisiana plantation family, as a summer residence.  In the summer, despite no air conditioning on the main floor, the home remains comfortable because the high ceilings allow the heat to rise.  A combination of formal and family-style comfort, you may find you never want to leave!
