It is the site of a historic crossroads community dating from 1836, when Reuben Anderson built a tavern/residence at the northeast corner of what is now the Georgetown-to-Cynthiana Road and the Newtown Pike. Opposite was the Robert Barkley family's log and frame house. Early other buildings which survived until the NRHP listing were another tavern, the William Gray House, the Charles Hamilton House, and the Ward-Hendricks house.[2]

The 32-acre (13 ha) district contained 36 structures, 31 of which were contributing resources. [2]
