MAXWELL PLACE

Dennis Mulligan had Maxwell Place built in 1870-1872 for his son, Judge James H. Mulligan and named for nearby Maxwell Springs. The property and Italianate home were purchased by U.K. in 1917 as the official president's residence. First occupied by President Frank L. McVey, it has served as home to every U.K. president since.
