DescriptionJonas Clore House, Sycamore Street and 7th Street, Belleview, KY.jpg
English: Originally located on Main Street in Belleview, this Italianate and Carpenter Gothic Revival-style house was constructed circa 1878 for Jonas Clore, whom also owned the former Belleview Post Office building that originally sat next door. According to aerial imagery, in 2004-2005 the house and the adjacent historic post office, which stood in the way of the northward expansion of the Belleview Baptist Church, were moved approximately 800 feet southeast of their original location to a previously open field at the corner of 7th Street and Sycamore Street, and the house was expanded with an addition that included a garage. As part of the move, the house was rotated 180 degrees from its original orientation, with the front facade now facing north instead of south. The wood-frame house features wooden clapboard siding, a side gable roof covered in standing seam metal with bracketed eaves, replacement windows, two entrance doors with transoms from the front porch, and a shed-roof front porch with decorative columns and a wooden railing. An addition on the west side of the building was added after the move in 2005, and features two gabled sections connected via small hallways to the historic structure, which are simpler in their detailing than the original house, but reference its roofline and materials. To the southwest of the house is the historic post office building, which now sits behind the garage portion of the addition. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.
