The Thomas Metcalfe House was the first house of Thomas Metcalfe (1780–1855), 10th governor of Kentucky (during 1828-1832). The house was built by Metcalfe, a stonemason and building contractor, in c.1810.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987; the listing included the stone house and a smokehouse, on a 45-acre (18 ha) property that also included a non-contributing barn.
A later home of Thomas Metcalfe, Forest Retreat in Nicholas County, is also listed on the National Register.
