Senseny

 File — Box: 2, Folder: 79

Scope and Contents

This folder contains two copies of a report on the Senseny House in Lexington, written by Pat Dennis. This house was first built (by John Leyburn, John Parry, Josh Jordan, Andrew Wallace, William Letcher, Reuben Ross, Joseph Blair, Samuel Darst, John Caruthers, and John Ruff) as a schoolhouse. The report then discusses the various owners and uses of the building, including a school for black children bought by Nathan C. Brackett and a house bought by James Madison Senseny and eventually willed to Ellen M. Cupp and H. Greenley Senseny and later was rented by Washington and Lee University students. Finally, structural information is given about the house.
