@alyonasworld: Just stumbled upon the White House off I-24… wait, never mind, it’s Kentucky’s coolest rest stop! 🏛️✨ Meet the Whitehaven Welcome Center in Paducah. Pulling up to stretch my legs and seeing what looks like a miniature executive mansion instead of a standard highway rest stop completely blew my mind. The columns, the history, the absolute southern grandeur—I couldn't grab my camera fast enough. Definitely the fanciest pit stop you’ll ever make. #reststop #paducahky #HiddenGems #roadtrip #Kentucky

In 1865, tobacco dealer Edward L. Anderson completed construction of a simple two-story, brick farmhouse, the bricks for which had been fired in a pit on the grounds.[4] The house remained in the Anderson family until sold to a local businessman, Edward Lafayette Atkins, in 1903. Atkins commissioned his friend, architect Alda Lafayette Lassiter to remodel the house in the Classical Revival style. Lassiter added a grand staircase, elaborate plaster ceilings with crown molding, and a large portico with eight Corinthian columns. The house was painted white, and Atkins named it Whitehaven.[5] In 1908, after the death of Atkins' wife, Atkins sold the house to James P. Smith, mayor of Paducah. The Smiths made many changes, hiring Marshall Fields to do interior decorating. Smith added a storm shelter in the backyard and converted the attic into additional bedrooms for their six children.[6] Nell Smith changed the name of the now 22-room house to "Bide-A-Wee" ("Stay awhile") to honor her Scottish heritage, and she and her daughter created formal gardens on the property.

I had my boyfriend’s junior prom pictures taken on the front steps of Whitehaven. I wish I was at my Mom And Dad’s to find some of those pictures.!!!!!
