A grand estate cast in brick and stone, 431 W. Third remains an enduring icon on one of Lexington's early prominent avenues. Built at the turn of the last century by businessman Richard T. Anderson, the home is Richardsonian Romanesque in style, reflecting the migration of Gilded Age sensibilities Westawrd.
The Cassidy's purchased the house from Mildred Anderson Dunning, the great grandniece of Mr. Anderson, in 1986 becoming the second family to own the property. The Cassidy's embarked on a 2 year renovation that blends period details with modern materials and updates to maintain the historic character. The house went through several phases of renovation throughout the years with the final renovation finishing the third floor. The home has a spectacular first floor for everyday living or entertaining and includes a chef'skitchen. Other details include 7 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, home office, Butler's pantry and a 2 car-detached garage with space for an apartment above.
