Bullock-Clifton House
The Bullock-Clifton House is a historic home in the Deer Park neighborhood of Louisville, Kentucky, USA. It is the oldest known surviving wood-frame structure in Jefferson County.
==History==
The house was built as a manor house for the surrounding farm, which was a truck farm by the early 20th century. The house was built in two sections, typical of a farmhouse of its age. The first was built in 1834 in the Federal style, facing northward towards the Ohio River. This reflected the early rural nature of the area, before the Bardstown Turnpike, a quarter mile to the east, was nothing more than an unpaved trail. In 1873, the Federal facade was removed along with the eastern portion of the house when the signature Italianate/Eastlake facade was built facing east towards the Bardstown Turnpike, which was by this time the focal point of the area.
The older portion of the house was built by William Bullock, a politician, judge and philanthropist. As a member of the Kentucky General Assembly Bullock introduced legislation to establish what became the public school system in Kentucky. His most important achievement as a politician was securing an endowment for the Kentucky School for the Blind in 1841. In 1834, he purchased of land from William Pope and constructed the house.
Bullock sold the property in 1839 to Francis Thornton, a minister.
