The Pogue House has been home to 4 generations of Pogue Family and is beautifully situated on three-acre hillside lot 200 feet above the Ohio River with sweeping ten-mile views of the river and the surrounding countryside. The stately "L" plan home was buit in the Greek revival style and follows a center hall floor plan, two rooms wide and two rooms deep, with three stories of living space. The house is constructed of brick with an ashlarcut limestone foundation. It proivdes 4,850 square feet of living space and 1,000 square feet of covered porch space plus a basement work area, and was one of Northern Kentucky's largest domiciles when built in 1845. The interior of the house contains many architecturally important features, such as the 3-inch tongue and groove quater-sawn oak hardwood floors installed in 1890 on the first floor and the original 5 inch tongue and groove pine hardwoods on the stairs and 2nd and 3rd floors, and much of the original hand-blown wavy glass in the windows. This 1845 home was considerably upgraded in 1890 after Henry E . Pogue II acquired the property that he named "Star Terrace". On the first floor he replaced three sets of pocket doors between the center hall, dining, library and living rooms with 8' wide archways bordered with classical Ionic columns. Original (circa 1920) brass chandeliers remain throughout the first floor. Circa 1900 a bathroom (probably one of the first installed in Mason County), was installed on the second floor. It was walled and floored with terrazzo composition that still survives as do the original bathroom tub and sink. The most notable upgrade to the property was the replacement of the front porch with a full-facade, roofed terrace measuring 42' x 18'. Overtime this terrace deteriorated and it was completely removed from the house in 1955. A total restoration of the Pogue house was completed in 2006.
