Mayo Mansion, Neoclassical mansion in Paintsville, United States
The Mayo Mansion features classical columns, symmetrical windows, and ornate stone carvings across its grand limestone and sandstone exterior at 405 Third Street.
Construction of the mansion took place from 1905 to 1912, requiring over one hundred Italian stonemasons from Cincinnati to complete the detailed architectural work.
The residence represents the economic transformation of Eastern Kentucky during the early 1900s through its scale and architectural refinement.
The mansion now houses Our Lady of the Mountains School and maintains regular operating hours during academic terms for scheduled visits.
Workers transported sandstone blocks for construction via a 3/4-mile overhead tram system and through Paint Creek using teams of oxen.
