The house is currently undergoing an extensive interiors restoration. The rooms shown below have recently received reproduction carpet, draperies and wallpaper.</I></div> <bR> <div> <B>The Bryan Legacy</B></div> <bR> <div> <I>The Bryan family accompanied Daniel Boone through the Cumberland Gap to the Bluegrass region, and established Bryan's Station in 1779 one of <IMG SRC="11473160.jpg" border=0 width="371" height="278" ALIGN="RIGHT" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Kentucky's first settlements. Family tradition holds that Daniel Boone surveyed the land where Waveland now stands for his nephew and namesake, Daniel Boone Bryan.</I></div> <div> <I>Indian fighter, historian, and poet, Daniel Boone Bryan erected a simple stone house on the 2000-acre site. He began developing the land in the early 19th-century, and by the time of his death in 1845, he had built a plantation that included a blacksmith shop, a gunsmith shop, a powder mill for producing gunpowder, a distillery, a gristmill, a paper mill, a female seminary, and a Baptist church. The prosperity of the Bryan family contributed to the area's progress as well. In 1847, Joseph Bryan inherited his father's homeplace, and built Waveland where the stone house once stood. After possibly consulting with the celebrated Kentucky architect John McMurty, Joseph built his Greek Revival masterpiece, Waveland, for his wife Margaret Cartwell, and their five children.</I></div> <bR> <div> <I>Waveland exemplifies plantation life in Kentucky in the 19th-century; from the acres of grain and hemp waving in the breeze (hence the Waveland name), to the raising and racing of blooded trotting horses. The outbuildings of Waveland; the slave quarters, smokehouse, and icehouse, are important reminders of the socia<IMG SRC="11c9ed30.jpg" border=0 width="158" height="211" ALIGN="RIGHT" HSPACE="9" VSPACE="0">l and economic climate of the time.</I></div> <div> <I><IMG SRC="120fabc0.jpg" border=0 width="250" height="188" ALIGN="LEFT" HSPACE="8" VSPACE="0">Joseph Henry Bryan, son of Joseph Bryan, was the second heir of Waveland. He built a racecourse and amphitheater near the estate, and raced many world-famous trotters. "Wild Rake," the most celebrated of all the Bryan trotters, was sold to William Rockefeller in the 1880's for $7,800.</I></div> <div> <I>The Greek Revival architectural style of Waveland was very popular in Central Kentucky between 1830-1860. The style features grand symmetry and a graceful Ionic-columned portico. The house is lavishly furnished with Sheraton and Empire-style furniture, and many family heirlooms.</I></div> <div> <I>Waveland passed out of the Bryan family in 1894, and the Commonwealth of Kentucky became its owner in 1956. Today, Waveland prides itself not only as one of Kentucky's best examples of the Greek Revival style, but as a living house museum. Many personal effects, from needlework, to handwritten letters, lay undisturbed, as if the household has briefly departed in preparation for your visit. </I></div> <bR> <div> <I>To learn more about Waveland you can visit their website at: </I><A HREF="http://www.parks.ky.gov/parks/historicsites/waveland/history.aspx" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.parks.ky.gov/parks/historicsi"><U><I> Wave</I></U></A><A HREF="http://www.parks.ky.gov/parks/historicsites/waveland/history.aspx" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.parks.ky.gov/parks/historicsi"><U><I>land</I></U></A></div> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <I>These photos of the foyer/stair area represent the last phase of the restoration wallpaper for Waveland</I></div> <div> <I>Reproduction wallpapers provided by Carter & Co.</I></div> <div> <I>This work was completed on March 4, 2004</I></div> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="552" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 259 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="39eeffa0.jpg" border=0 width="239" height="250" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="39ffafa0.jpg" border=0 width="250" height="250" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 259 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="3a0fafa0.jpg" border=0 width="250" height="250" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="3a1f6fa0.jpg" border=0 width="246" height="250" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <div>             </div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <IMG SRC="18833e60.jpg" border=0 width="307" height="230" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> "Landscape Scenic"</div> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
