It has been known as the oldest brick house in Leitchfield, on the basis of its original one-story brick section which later served as a rear ell off the main block, built later. The main block is a two-story five-bay brick section, with its front door and window above having originally been in Palladian window format.[2]
It has also been known as The Gardner Place.[2]
It was built in 1812–14 by Jack Thomas, who eventually was clerk for Grayson County for 41 years. It was built with two rooms downstairs and a loft above. It was expanded in 1925 with rooms upstairs and downstairs. It was later owned by William Evans, who operated a general store. It was sold in 1884 to George H. ("Bent") Gardner, founder and president of the Leitchfield Deposit Bank.[3]
