Dr. William Rainey Holt House
Dr. William Rainey Holt House, Greek Revival residence in Lexington, United States.
The Dr. William Rainey Holt House stands as a two-story frame dwelling with three bays, Palladian windows, and a characteristic hipped roof at 408 South Main Street.
Built in 1834 as a wedding gift, the house served as headquarters for Union General H. Judson Kilpatrick and the 9th Pennsylvania Cavalry during the 1865 Reconstruction period.
The residence contains preserved signatures of the Holt daughters on its walls and original black iron brackets installed by Mrs. Holt during the nineteenth century.
The property maintains its original kitchen building, which now functions as part of the Davidson County Historical Museum's educational programming about regional architecture.
The house received a gold piece, sugar supplies, and a pony named Kilpatrick as gifts from the Union General to the Holt family after their stay.
