This vintage postcard features the historic Ice Houses located at Ashland, the former home of Henry Clay, a prominent American statesman who lived there from 1811 until his death in 1852. Situated two miles east of downtown Lexington, Kentucky, on U.S. 25, these unique cone-shaped structures are nestled in a lush, wooded setting, offering a glimpse into 19th-century methods of ice storage. The photograph captures the serene greenery and architectural charm of these stone and wood ice houses under dappled sunlight.Printed by Color King Natural Color Card and photographed by W. M. Cline Co., this postcard reflects mid-20th century printing techniques with vibrant color reproduction. The card is standard size (5.5 x 3.5 inches) and includes clear text on the back describing the site and visiting hours, which were open daily except Mondays. Collectors will appreciate this original paper postcard for its historical significance tied to Henry Clay, a key figure in American politics, and its depiction of a rare architectural feature from Kentucky's heritage.
