Luxuriöses 3-Zimmer-Loft in der Innenstadt am Court Square

The Loft is located upstairs inside the Kentucky Bourbon House, circa 1787, historically known as the Chapeze House. This is a very special piece of real estate in Historic Bardstown. Dr. Henri Chapeze came over with General Marquis Lafayette, both from France in 1777 and helped George Washington win the American Revolution against England. During that period of time Bardstown advertised for a physician and paid with the deed to a city lot as an inducement. Dr. Henri Chapeze, a surgeon came and built this house in 1787, that is why there are 2 front doors, one for his residence and the other his medical practice. He had 2 sons, Bed and Henri. Ben was a lawyer and he started a distillery near where Jim Beam is located today, called Chapeze Distillery and they produced the Bourbon "Old Charter"., a premium bourbon still in production today. Bardstown Tourism had their offices in this building for many years, when they moved their offices to the Court Square, it went on the market, My husband always loved this building so we bought it in 2004 and spent 6 months restoring it. Come to find out that the home's architect, John Rogers, from Philadelphia, had also built my Grandmother's house where the Colonel and I had married in 1993 , so I in turn fell in LOVE with this house as well. At the time I was in the bridal business so our main use of the house was wedding and receptions. In 2010 we converted it to a Boutique Hotel and renamed it "The Kentucky Bourbon House"
