202 E Walnut St - The Thomas Barbee House 1,230 SF Specialty Building Offered at $299,900 in Danville, KY 40422

The Thomas Barbee House, built circa 1790 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of American history in the heart of downtown Danville. Located on the same block as Constitution Square—Kentucky's birthplace—and within walking distance of Centre College, downtown attractions, and Kentucky's famed Bourbon Trail, this historic property combines authentic character with modern functionality.
Recently renovated, the single-pen, two-story white oak log cabin preserves its original 18th-century walls, ceilings, and floors while offering a modern kitchen, open living area with gas fireplace, spacious bedroom, full bath, laundry, and third-floor sleeping loft.
Zoned residential and commercial, the property is turnkey for a variety of uses, including short-term rental, boutique lodging, professional office, specialty retail, or other approved commercial ventures. An additional lot conveys with the property, offering potential for future residential or commercial expansion, parking, or additional improvements, subject to zoning and approvals.
Thomas Barbee, a Revolutionary War officer and the first postmaster west of the Alleghenies, built the home near Danville's first post office. Constitution Square, the original post office site, and Barbee's gravestone in Bellevue Cemetery are all within walking distance.
A distinctive investment opportunity blending historic significance, flexible zoning, turnkey condition, and future potential in one of Danville's most desirable locations. Renovation journey: Instagram @a.shot.of.yesterday.
