Excerpt from James Chenoweth: The Story of One of the Earliest Boys of Louisville and Where Louisville Stared Photograph of Mulberry Hill, the cabin of John Clark, built in 1784 on Beargrass Creek near Poplar Level Road south east of Louisville, Kentucky, taken in 1890 after the original roof, which was of clapboards (large thin slabs of timber, riven or split off logs, about three feet long, almost a foot wide and two inches thick), had been replaced by one made of shingles. We are told this is the first log cabin built in Jefferson County, Kentucky, with rooms upstairs. It gave George Rogers Clark the first place he could call home in Kentucky. Only the unfilled entrance to the cellar remains to mark the lo cation of the house which lies within the artillery range grounds of Camp Zachary Taylor. The photograph is placed in this book to show the kind of a house the Chenoweth family had. The windows had no glass in them, but the Openings for windows and doors were provided with shutters of heavy timbers and closed with bars, affording protection against the ri e balls the Indians might fire at the house when making an attack. A great grandson of the builder of Mulberry Hill says he has had more than one interesting time digging bullets out of the logs of this very building.
