The Loudoun House, located in Lexington, Kentucky, is considered one of the largest and finest examples of Gothic Revival architecture in the state.
[3] The home was built on 50 acres of land given to Hunt and his wife, Julia Warfield, by her parents upon their marriage.
Following the death of his father during a cholera epidemic, Hunt inherited more than a million dollars and set to building the Loudoun House.
He named the home "Loudoun" in honor of the song "The Bells of Loudon", his wife's favorite.
[1] It is one of the five surviving castellated Gothic Revival villas designed by Davis in the United States.
