Airy Mount (original) (raw)
Airy Mount, near Versailles, Kentucky, is a historic site dating from 1796 with Georgian architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. It is notable for its mural painted by French immigrant "Alfred Cohen, who left Marseilles, France, with two brothers in the 1820s and settled in Midway, in the northeast corner of Woodford County. The three houses concerned are the only ones known anywhere to have been painted with murals by Cohen, a primitive artist who had little, if any, formal training. Although these landscape scenes show disregard for correct scale and perspective, they possess charm through the artist's lack of inhibitions."
