The ALBERTI HoUsE (R), 132.4 1n., is a one-story white frame build- C _
ing suggestive of an Italian villa, with a two-story central section that 1
gives height to the porch. It is surrounded and partly hidden by a ·  
grove of trees. The estate was established during the second quarter
of the nineteenth century by Doctor Alberti, a physician of the Blue-
grass. His son, T. L. B. Alberti, owned and conducted a wagon freight
line with a large business between the iron furnaces of Powell and Estill _ ,
Counties and Lexington; as many as a dozen six—horse teams were in 1
use daily for hauling pig iron from the furnaces to Lexington. ,
A short distance off the road (R), at 133.4 m., is the MACEDONIAN » s
CHRISTIAN CHURCH, built in 1928 as a memorial to J. H. Graves, a ‘
farmer of Fayette County. It is constructed in the style of a Greek ,
temple, of rough local stone. The portico has five fiuted Doric columns i
supporting a simple pediment. 1

The OLD KERNR PLACE (R), 6.2 m., a stately light-painted brick '
mansion, was built about 1790 on an 8,000-acre tract granted to Francis
Keene of Fauquier County, Virginia, by his kinsman, Patrick Henry, ‘
then Governor of Virginia. The house is symmetrical in plan and has
a two-story five-bay central section and low one-story wings. Extend-
ing across the entire width of the central section is a deep portico, sup-
ported on square paneled wooden columns and topped with a bracketed
cornice and latticed rail; the slender proportions of the columns are .
typical of the post-Colonial architecture of Kentucky. The stiff sym-
metry of the facade is broken by the position of the central window of
the second story, which is off axis with the unusual double doorway
below. The house stands on a broad, tree-shaded lawn. Lafayette was
a house guest here during his visit to Lexington in 1825. Adjoining
the Keene estate, which now includes but 20 acres of the original tract,
is the new KEENELAND RACE TRACK (R), 6.4 in. (see Lexing-
