====== R.T. Clements House (BE 406) ====== R.T. Clements House A focal point of downtown [[Union]], this historic home is one of the most intact Victorian dwellings along [[transportation in boone county|U.S. 42]]. The R.T. Clements House is a vernacular Italianate residence, it is distinguished by paired cornice brackets, placed in line with the narrow windows, and a broad, Folk Victorian porch. A closer look reveals that the three-bay facade is not quite symmetrical: a visual illusion. A former smokehouse is incorporated into the rear ell, and a back porch was enclosed in glass in the mid-20th century. [[roger clements|Roger T. Clements]] was proprietor of a general store in Union, and served as postmaster in the [[1860s]]. ===== Related Topics ===== * [[Roger Clements]] * [[Clements Family]] * [[Historic Homes]]
