Another Nicholasville Demolition

202 N. 2nd Street, Nicholasville, KY. Jessamine PVA.

Over the weekend, Nicholasville’s Lady Sterling House was demolished following a fire two days earlier. Lady Sterling dated to 1804.

Now a neighboring property at 202 N. 2nd Street also faces the wrecking ball. Nicholasville NOW! director Tonya Coleman shared these photos of demolition this morning. You can see the remains of Lady Sterling in the foreground while the ongoing demolition occurs in the background.

How much more of Nicholasville’s past must be destroyed before we at least pause to consider it? Remember, demolition is forever.
