The Larue-Layman House is a two-story brick house in Elizabethtown, Kentucky, that was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.[1]
The house was originally built in 1831 as a small brick home for Jacob Warren LaRue, a member of a local pioneer family and the husband of Eliza Helm, who was the sister of Governor John LaRue Helm.[2] Extensive remodeling was performed c. 1863 for George M. Cresap, the brick on the west and south facades and little else remain from the 1831 section.[3] The 1860s remodeling produced an asymmetrical Italianate design. A one story porch with Doric columns replaced the original on the main (south) facade c. 1910, a one story addition was added to the north facade c. 1920.[3]
The house is notable example of the Italianate residences built in Elisabethtown in the 19th century.[3]
