Bell House Senior Citizen Center

According to the city of Lexington Parks and Recreation, Bell House is currently used during the week as a senior center and often rented on the weekends as a site for weddings and other formal events and continues its tradition of class and prestige in Lexington.
I attended an event here and it is a great place to host or to attend. If you enjoy historic architecture and stately old homes, you will enjoy The Bell House. The Bell House’s legacy began with its construction by prominent Lexingtonian David A. Sayre along with noted architect Thomas Lewinski in 1845. Once constructed, the estate was purchased by Sayre’s business partner, Henry Bell which was passed down to his son, Davis David Bell, upon his death in 1883. It was then that the property officially became the Bell House. Sometime after the Bells’ acquisition of the estate, the home was destroyed by fire and then rebuilt in 1890 by William Stewart.
