About the Property
Hurricane Hall was built in the 1790’s by David Laughed. Architecture historian Clay Lancaster describes it as “the most engaging residence in Fayette County.” The home is on the National Register of Historic Places listings in Fayette County, KY.
The home was purchased in 1803 by Colonel Roger Quarles who came from Virginia. In 1856, Quarles’ grandson, Patrick Henry Thomson inherited the house. P.H. Thomson maintained a private school on the estate. The Thomsons had 12 children and it is said the children ran through the house like a hurricane—thus the name “Hurricane Hall.”
The home remained in the Quarles-Thomson family until 1962.
