The historic Saffell House in Lawrenceburg, KY, was built around 1890 by bourbon entrepreneur William Butler Saffell in the distinctive Richardsonian Romanesque style, celebrated for its bold masonry, arches, and towers. Saffell, who established his distillery in 1889, built this stately home for his family on his 500-acre farm. After his death in 1910, the distillery closed during Prohibition, and the property was eventually sold. By the 1940s, it became the Huddleston and Sparrow Funeral Home, with a 1956 expansion to accommodate the business. Today, it continues to operate as the Saffell House Funeral Home. The main level is currently set up as a funeral home, but when originally purchased, it contained three apartments: two 2-bedroom units and one 3-bedroom unit. With minimal work, it could easily be converted back or reimagined as a unique event center. The second floor consists of four apartments: one 1-bedroom unit two 2-bedroom units one 3-bedroom unit All have exterior entrances, with two in the front and two in the rear, separate from the main level. Additional features include: Detached garage A secondary building with two 1-bedroom apartments A 20x20 garage A prep room that was once a 1-bedroom apartment and could be converted back This remarkable property offers a rare combination of historic character, investment potential, and adaptive reuse opportunities.
