White Hall State Historic Site is a park in Richmond, Kentucky, southeast of Lexington. Its major feature is White Hall, the home of Kentucky legislator Cassius Marcellus Clay. He was an anti-slavery newspaper publisher, politician, soldier and Minister to Russia through the Lincoln, Johnson and Grant administrations. He published ''True American'' for nearly 25 years. His daughter, Laura Clay, was the first woman nominated for President by the Democratic Party. This restored 44-room Italianate mansion was built in 1798-1799 and remodeled in the 1860s. The site became part of the state park system in 1968. The house was restored in 1971 under the leadership of Kentucky's First Lady Beula C. Nunn, with assistance of the Kentucky Mansions Preservation Foundation.〔http://www.flickr.com/photos/bearsite/5501419050/〕 In addition to the heirloom and period furnishings, White Hall has many unique features for its day, including indoor plumbing and central heating.〔http://parks.ky.gov/statehistoricsites/wh/index.htm〕 On April 12, 2011 White Hall was designated as a national historic site in journalism by the Society of Professional Journalists, because of Clay's career as a publisher.〔("Dedicates White Hall as Historic Site in Journalism" ), Eastern Kentucky University〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「White Hall State Historic Site」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
