James J. Sweeney House

Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸

I couldn’t think of a better house to feature today than the James J. Sweeney House in Owensboro, Kentucky. This bluetiful (did you see what I did there?) old place was built in 1893 for prominent Owensboro lawyer James J. Sweeney. It was built by the Drach & Thomas architectural firm. It’s defined as a Queen Anne, but I think better yet, it’s defined by that cool polygonal tower. It was a restaurant for a while and is now a private residence once again and retains much of its original detail including TEN fireplaces. Wow! ❤️🤍💙
