Another house that needs saving! This house was built in 1825. It is located on 2.84 acres in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. The house still retains some original details. I love that huge fireplace in the billiards room! Known as the J. B. Knight House, Mr. Knight was a real estate mogul. It was home for him and his family for around 100 years and comes with two albums full of original letters from Mr. Knight. Part of the local lore includes its involvement in the Civil War and the Knight Riders, per William Turner, the Christian County Historian. Four bedrooms, three bathrooms and 4,673 square feet. $150,000
