The Adam Pence House in Lincoln County, Kentucky near Stanford, Kentucky, was built in 1851. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. Although apparently still NRHP-listed, it has apparently been demolished. It was a red brick I-house with a rear ell, fronted by four two-story white pillars. In 1978 it was deemed "architecturally significant as being one of the grand Greek Revival rural residences of Lincoln County to survive in a relatively unaltered state." It was built for Adam Pence in 1851 with bricks made ("burned") on its property, and with lumber transported from Somerset, Kentucky. Adam Pence fought in the War of 1812 and the house was built on land given to him for his service in that war.An 1898 photo of the home, labelled as the "Matheny-Pence House on Old Somerset Road", appears in a Lincoln County history compiled by the local historical society. Labelled as "Yankees" in the photo are husband and wife Adam Richard Matheny and Franciska Hornath Matheny.Its location is about 5 miles (8.0 km) south of Stanford on Kentucky Route 1247.By 2022, the house appears to have been demolished. An undated Bing Maps aerial view shows the house, recognizable by its outline compared to sketch map in the NRHP document, labelled as 5310 Kentucky Highway 1247, at 37.469516°N 84.632603°W / 37.469516; -84.632603 (5310 Kentucky Highway 1247). This is close to the coordinates (37°28′06″N 84°38′01″W) provided with NRIS 2013 data, within usual variance of such vs. modern GPS mapping. However a Google Maps satellite view, presumably later, shows ruins at that site.
