"Ash Lea," is estimated by some accounts to have been built prior to 1824 and was owned by George and Kate Miller from 1876 to 1914.
One of the property's most intriguing historical connections is to Nanette Price Smith, the sister of Lucretia Hart Clay, wife of Henry Clay Sr. Nanette was one of the first women to independently own real estate, with legal records designating her as "sole owner, free and clear from control by husband." Her brother-in-law, Thomas Marshall, Chief Justice of the Kentucky Court of Appeals, ensured every deed emphasized this groundbreaking status for the time.
As a sister property to "Ashland," the historic Lexington estate honoring Henry Clay Jr., "Ash Lea" is significant not only for its architectural elegance but also for its ties to influential figures and early female land ownership. Reportedly Henry Clay, Sr paid for and built this property to ensure his son Henry Clay, Jr's children would have a safe place to be raised after their mother passed away. Nanette took the children in and raised them on the estate during their young life.
