| 説明 | Built in 1855-1857, this Italianate-style building was designed by Thomas Lewinski and constructed by John McMurtry for the Kentucky School for the Deaf, founded in 1823 as the first publicly funded school for deaf people in the United States. The building housed most of the program of the school until 1882, and was the fourth building constructed for the school, and third building the school occupied on the present campus. The four-story building features a main facade nine bays wide and side facades five bays wide, six-over-six and six-over-nine double-hung windows, arched windows on the fourth floor, an extruded section of the facade at the central three bays, pilasters between each window bay with recessed brick panels and stone capitals, brick arches over the windows on the front and rear facades, paired decorative brackets, broad overhanging eaves, a low-slope hipped roof with front and rear gables, an octagonal cupola with bracketed eaves and arched double-hung windows, stone pilasters on the first floor, a doric portico with square and circular columns at the front entrance at the first floor, a stone base, and oxeye windows on the side facades flanking the central bays with a doorway at the first floor and grouped two-over-two and six-over-six double-hung windows above. The building’s exterior remained mostly unaltered during its usage by the school, and the interior, though modified, retained many of its original features, including arches in the central hallways and ceiling heights that started at 15 feet on the first floor and drop one foot on each floor above, to 12 feet on the fourth floor. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1966, and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1987, owing to its historical and architectural significance. The building formerly housed dormitory space and apartments for important Kentucky School for the Deaf staff, which remained in use from 1857 until 2002. The building presently houses offices for the Kentucky School for the Deaf, as well as a museum of the school’s history, opened in 2007, which included restoration of interior rooms to their original appearances to demonstrate what it was like to live there in the late 19th Century. |
