Phillips' Folly, Greek Revival building in Maysville, Kentucky.
The three-story brick residence displays Federal-style entrances, Greek Revival windows, and a two-tiered portico with segmental dormers on its facade.
Construction of Phillips' Folly began in 1825 under William B. Phillips, Maysville's second mayor, and continued for six years until completion in 1831.
The residence served as a childhood home to Justice Stanley Forman Reed before he became a United States Supreme Court Justice.
Located at 227 Sutton Street in Maysville, Kentucky, Phillips' Folly received recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
The foundation uses dry stacking construction without mortar, and the basement contains a wooden jail cell connected to an underground tunnel.
