| Introduction |
|
John Whiting Washington, third cousin of George Washington built the main portion of the house as his townhouse in 1824. Thomas Clark purchased the property in 1880, and until 1989 the home remained in the Clark family. Washington House Bed & Breakfast, circa 1824, is in Russellville's Historic District. Our home is featured on the historic walking tour, which identifies old homes and churches with interesting architecture, history and culture. The architecture of the home is Colonial Revival in the Federal style. The 1824 portion of the home has 18-inch thick brick walls and 11-foot ceilings. The front parlor has an 8-foot wide Adams mantel, original to the home, flanked by floor to ceiling bookcases. The home is decorated with a mixture of period antiques, artwork and reproduction furniture, much of which is for sale. |
