White Hall
Inscription
In 1799, Gen. Green Clay completed
Georgian-style home, Clermont,
which was converted in the 1860s
into an Italianate-style structure
and renamed White Hall by his
son Cassius M. Clay. While he
served as U.S. minister to Russia,
Cassius’s wife, Mary Jane Warfield
Clay, oversaw the renovation.

White Hall fell into neglect after
Clay’s death in 1903 but was
restored by Kentucky First Lady

of the Kentucky Mansions
Preservation Foundation, master
carpenter Floyd Nuckles, and
hundreds of donors. Dedicated
on September 16, 1971, by
Governor Louie B. Nunn. Over.
