Английская Википедия:Botherum
Botherum was built for Madison C. Johnson in 1850[1] or 1851[2] (sources vary) by John McMurtry, a well-known architect and builder based in Lexington. The house was intended, in part, as a shrine to Johnson's late wife Sally Ann, a sister of Cassius Marcellus Clay who died giving birth in 1828.[2]
Although McMurtry was known for his Gothic Revival architecture, and is credited with establishing the popularity of that style in central Kentucky,[3] Botherum shows an unusual combination of Greek, Roman, and Gothic architectural elements.[2]
A large ginkgo tree that stands on the property is said to have been a gift to Johnson from Henry Clay. The original 36-acre estate faced High Street, but the house now sits on a 3/4 acre lot and is approached from Madison Place, to the side.[2]
In 1886, Johnson's heirs sold the estate to J. C. Woodward, who subdivided much of it into Woodward Heights, selling the lots individually.[4]
John Cavendish owned the house from 1983 until 2012, and in the mid-1980s he added a high stone wall that hides the single-story house from the street and a two-story guest house.[2]
The home was featured in Southern Living magazine in 2017 and is described by Jon Carloftis.
