The Ashland Park Historic District is an early 20th century residential mixed-use neighborhood consisting of single family, duplex, and four-plex homes. At the time of its development, the district was located at the eastern edge of the city of Lexington, Kentucky.
In 1904, the Clay family hired the architectural firm of the Olmsted Brothers of Brookline, Massachusetts, the famed family of landscape architects including Frederick Law Olmsted Sr. and Frederick Law Olmsted Jr., to draw up plans for its first residential neighborhood on the 600-acre estate. Constructed over a 15-year period, the development was completed around 1930. The lots sold for approximately $2,500 each.
Ashland Park Historic District is located adjacent to Ashland, The Estate of Henry Clay off of East Main St. The district is roughly bounded by Richmond Rd., South Hanover Ave., Fontaine Rd., Woodspoint Rd., Fincastle Rd., and Sycamore Rd. Ashland Park celebrates its 100th year as a neighborhood in 2020!
