Blanton House, built in 1886, was named in honor of its first owner and Central University's
last chancellor, Lindsey Hughes Blanton (1832-1914). This Italianate style
brick house is the only residence still existing from "faculty row" of Central
University. The house was purchased from Thompson S. Burnam (1852-1923) in 1912
for $12,500. Since that time the Blanton House has served as the official
residence of the president of Eastern Kentucky Normal School, State Teachers
College, and now State University.
