Coleman-Desha Plantation

Coleman-Desha Plantation is a historic property in Harrison County, Kentucky, near the community of Cynthiana. It is not documented in the supplied sources as a commercial brand, operating company, or consumer product line; rather, the name identifies a historic plantation complex and its associated buildings and structures. The property is notable primarily for its architectural and historical character. The principal residence was constructed around 1812. Its design is Georgian, a style associated with balanced proportions, formal symmetry, and restrained classical detailing. The house has five-bay front and rear elevations and was built with Flemish-bond brickwork, an arrangement in which the visible face of the wall alternates headers and stretchers to create a distinctive patterned surface. These features contribute to the property's architectural significance within the regional historic landscape. The National Register of Historic Places listing, recorded in 1993, encompassed more than the main residence alone. The nominated historic resources included the main house, a kitchen, a smokehouse, a springhouse, a double log crib barn described as a sheep barn, and a single log crib barn. Together, these resources represent a historic agricultural ensemble rather than an isolated residence. The combination of domestic, food-processing, water-management, and agricultural buildings provides evidence of the plantation's former land-use organization and rural economy. The property is located near Cynthiana in Harrison County. No current commercial operations, product portfolio, corporate owner, public listing, official website, or active brand-management structure is identified in the supplied reference material. Accordingly, fields concerning products, campaigns, executives, financial performance, and market activity remain empty. Its present status as an active or inactive commercial entity cannot be established from the available sources. In an encyclopedia context, Coleman-Desha Plantation is best treated as a historic place and architectural site, despite the brand-oriented structure of this record.

Coleman-Desha Plantation is a historic agricultural property near Cynthiana in Harrison County, Kentucky. The principal house dates to approximately 1812 and is described as Georgian in style. Its architecture is distinguished by formal five-bay front and rear facades and Flemish-bond brick construction. These characteristics place the house within the tradition of early nineteenth-century Kentucky domestic architecture, while the surrounding agricultural buildings preserve the broader organization of the historic property. The plantation complex historically included several buildings serving different domestic and agricultural functions. In addition to the main house, the National Register documentation included a kitchen, smokehouse, springhouse, a double log crib barn identified as a sheep barn, and a single log crib barn. The range of surviving resources indicates that the property functioned as a self-contained rural estate with dedicated facilities for cooking, preserving food, managing water, housing livestock, and storing agricultural materials. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993. The listing recognized the significance of the complete group of contributing resources, not simply the residence. The inclusion of four contributing buildings and two contributing structures reflects the importance of the site's overall historic setting and its surviving physical relationships. The available reference material does not provide a documented construction history beyond the approximate date of the main house, nor does it identify the individuals who established, owned, or operated the plantation. It also does not describe subsequent alterations, preservation work, public access arrangements, or current ownership. No evidence in the supplied material indicates that Coleman-Desha Plantation operates as a contemporary commercial brand. Its documented importance is instead architectural and historical, particularly as a preserved rural complex in Harrison County.
