The Stephens-Yelton House History

The Stephens-Yelton House is a notable, mid-19th century residence located in the Burlington Historic District of Burlington, Kentucky. Built in 1884, this historic home served as a private residence for several generations, until acquired in the mid-20th century by the Yelton family and acted as both a home and office space for the local town physician.

Over the years, the Stephens-Yelton House has undergone various restorations to maintain its historical and architectural integrity. Efforts have focused on preserving its original design elements while adapting the space for modern use. These restorations have ensured that the house remains a vital part of Burlington's heritage.

Today, the Stephens-Yelton House continues to be a cherished landmark within the Burlington Historic District. It stands as a symbol of the area's rich history and serves as a point of interest for visitors and historians alike, providing a glimpse into the architectural and cultural heritage of 19th-century Kentucky.
