The Judge Joseph Crockett House

The Judge Joseph Crockett House was built during Andrew Jackson's presidency in the year 1835.  According to the home's historical marker it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places by the United States Department of the Interior. According to the Historical Marker Database, the home is said to be one of the best surviving examples of Greek Revival style in the area.

Lone Oak, located on 16th Street in Hopkinsville, Kentucky was constructed by Judge Joseph B. Crockett (1808-1884) when the community of Hopkinsville was still considered a frontier area. Crockett was a prominent lawyer and politician who served Christian County for many years in local and state government. Later, Lone Oak became the home of James F. Buckner, a well-known Whig and close associate of Kentucky Senator Henry Clay. Buckner was responsible for nominating Clay for the presidency at the Baltimore Convention in 1844.
