Judge Joseph Crockett House

Judge Joseph Crockett House, also known as Lone Oak, is a historic house located on the south side of East 16th Street in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. Based on a design by Minard Lafever, the house was constructed between 1834 and 1836. It is the only remaining structure from the first half of the ninete

enth century in a neighborhood that has since developed into a late nineteenth-century residential area. The house represents the transition from the Federal Style architecture to the Greek Revival style. It is one of only three documented Temple Form Greek Revival houses ever built in Hopkinsville; one was torn down at the beginning of the 20th century, and the other survivor is the Dillard House (also from a design by Lafever). It is recognized for its architectural significance as one of the best-preserved examples of Greek Revival style in Hopkinsville. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on April 3, 1979.
