from the National Register of Historic Places,
Cave Spring attains significance not only as an outstanding example, of the stone building tradition in Kentucky, but also because of its retention of the several outbuildings which, together with the house, represent the sequence of log, stone, and brick construction in Kentucky. The log house was constructed ca. 1784, shortly after Captain Robert Boggs (1746-1827), one of the founders of Boones-borough, settled in the area. The log structure was followed by the two-and-one-half- story, stone house completed in 1792, and the various brick outbuildings were erected in due course as the farm developed.
