Riverview at Hobson Grove
Riverview at Hobson Grove, Historic mansion in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
Riverview at Hobson Grove exhibits Renaissance Revival architecture with symmetrical shapes, arched windows, decorative eaves, brackets, and a prominent cupola.
Construction began in the 1850s but halted during the Civil War when Confederate forces used the unfinished structure to store military supplies.
The property represents residential life of wealthy bankers in Kentucky during the nineteenth century through its detailed architectural elements and preserved interior spaces.
Visitors can access guided tours of the mansion and gardens, with special programs scheduled throughout the year at Hobson Grove Park.
The house features an advanced nineteenth-century water system with a copper-lined wooden collection tank and ventilation through an oculus under the cupola.
