The impressive Legeay-Lowry house, located on Hwy 305 (Old Cairo Road) in Paducah, is a Colonial Revival style dwelling that for many years was the residential center of Gus Legeay's produce farm. The Legeays were well known for having abundant acreage in the area northwest of Paducah, but the expanding city later claimed most of the farm for recent residential and commercial development, particularly along the road frontage. Legeay's crops of fruits and vegetables found ready buyers among the residents of the town. He and his forbears had a stall for years at the 1905 Market House in downtown Paducah. Truck produce was also shipped from the farm to other points throughout the South and the Midwest. Legeay built the house about 1910; constructed of textured red brick, it has a wrap-around porch which features Corinthian columns to the second floor; and a porte-cochere on one corner, to be used as an overhead shelter for wagons and automobiles that would pull up to allow guests to enter the home away from the elements. It has a steeply pitched hipped roof and an asymmetrical floor plan. The home was sold to the Lowry family in 1939. Today, it is a destination for special occasions; and the grounds have been restored to the original beauty. The lawn, which overlooks the highway, puts forth an abundant floral display each spring and summer.
