This substantial early-20th-century residence at 210 South Main Street in Henderson is a commanding circa 1910 example of a large, boxy brick house reflecting late Classical Revival influence. The two-and-a-half-story structure is crowned by a high, tile-covered hipped roof with a prominent front hipped dormer, deep overhanging eaves, and a pronounced molded cornice that emphasizes the home’s mass and formality. Cast-stone detailing is used extensively, including projecting window sills, splayed lintels with keystones and end blocks, and a continuous stringcourse linking the second-story openings.
The full-facade front porch is one of the house’s defining features. It is supported by heavy brick piers topped with splayed wooden capitals, and enclosed with a solid brick balustrade capped in cast stone, giving the porch a monumental and dignified appearance. Above, a broad second-story balcony stretches across the façade, enclosed by a later white railing that accentuates the home’s symmetry while preserving its historic proportions.
Historic records identify early occupants as Larkin White, associated with the White-King Motor Company by 1915, followed by Marvin L. Katterjohn, president of the Kentucky Box and Crate Company by 1927, both figures reflecting the prominence of the home and its location along South Main Street. Today, the house remains a visually striking landmark, retaining its original brickwork, massing, and decorative stone elements, and stands as a well-preserved reminder of Henderson’s early 20th century residential architecture and industrial-era prosperity.
