<html><img alt=“Percival Southgate House” src=“https://bcp.ent.sirsi.net/client/en_US/search/asset/28963/0” width=“250” align=“left” title=“Percival Southgate House”></html> This house, sitatuted on North Main Street in Walton, was labeled “Southgate Heirs” on the 1883 atlas and is believed to have been built for a Canadian named Percival Southgate during the Civil War era. One of the great I-houses of the Covington-Lexington Turnpike, the imposing Southgate House presents a five-bay facade. Extending the width of the facade is a full-width porch with robust, modillioned cornice and pedimented full-height pavilion, which may have been a somewhat later addition.
