(Printed verso reads: "HISTORICAL SKETCH. The charming stone house of Mr. Edward F. Spears located on Ruddle's Mill Pike, 5 miles northwest of Paris, Ky., was begun in 1787. It was built by Laban Shipp whose wife was a sister of Governor Garrard's wife. Afterwards, the place was owned by Abraham Spears, great-great grandfather of the present owner who restored it in 1936. The house still contains most of the original woodwork, flooring, and two ancestral portraits, one of Abraham Spears.") 5 copies
