Good morning Lexington, and happy Monday! This week we're taking a stroll through Bell Court, one of our most charming historic neighborhoods.

Bell Court is tucked right there southeast of downtown, with Boonesboro Avenue on one side, Walton Avenue on another, East Main Street to the southwest, and Forest and Delmar finishing out the boundaries.

It's a small neighborhood, but it packs a lot of history into those few blocks. The whole area got its start back in nineteen oh-six when the Bell Place Land Company began developing it.

And speaking of history, the neighborhood's crown jewel is the Bell House itself, which actually predates all that development by more than sixty years.

That's right! The Bell House goes all the way back to eighteen forty-five. It's this beautiful Greek Revival home that was designed by architect Thomas Lewinski.

You can really see how the developers built the whole neighborhood concept around that historic house. Pretty smart planning for nineteen oh-six.

The neighborhood earned its place on the National Register of Historic Places back in nineteen eighty-two, which really speaks to how well it's been preserved.

What I love about Bell Court is how it feels like a little pocket of the past, but it's so close to everything downtown. You get that historic charm without being far from the action.

It's one of those neighborhoods where you can imagine what Lexington looked like over a century ago, especially when you see that Greek Revival architecture.

The tree-lined streets really add to that historic feel too. It's like stepping back in time just a few blocks from the heart of the city.

If you call Bell Court home, we'd love to hear from you! Give us a wave in the chat and tell us what you love most about your neighborhood.

Coming up after the break, we'll have your Monday morning weather forecast. Stay with us on LexBot!
