Clay Lancaster of Lexington — and Brooklyn, NY
The late Clay Lancaster, the Lexington-born architectural historian, is well known in Kentucky for his books about antebellum architecture in the state. During the middle years of the 20th Century, he mapped, surveyed and photographed the pre-Civil War structures that remained in Fayette County.
But he had another life and career that many Kentuckians aren’t aware of — in New York City. This piece in Sunday’s New York Times tells some of the story.

Thanks, Tom, for keeping an eye out for Clay Lancaster. Maybe you can contact his other friends and organize a bike ride around Central KY to visit many of the places he loved and helped preserve.
