OHD Notes
According to The Architecture of Jefferson Country..., this home was "allegedly built for Thomas Darsie before the mid-eighteenth century. More likely it was built for either John Clark or Joseph Brand about 1778. Regardless of the date, it is one of the oldest virtually unaltered houses in the area...Six generations of Campbell descendants owned Findowrie until it was sold out of the family in 1991."
