Elmwood Hall - Thomas D. and Sally Carneal built this classical villa from 1818-20, facing the Ohio River on a 968+ acre farm. In 1827, Wm. Bullock of London purchased the estate and planned a garden-town called Hygeia. It failed. In 1831-36, Israel Ludlow, Jr. and his wife Helen Adela bought the farm and developed the town of Ludlow. Presented by The Ludlow Heritage Museum.
Elmwood Hall - In the 1880s, after the railroad arrived, Elmwood was divided into a double house or duplex. Its rear kitchen wing was removed to create a new front on Forest Ave. Thomas’ Candy Factory occupied it in the 1920-70s. It then housed studios of local artists. Elmwood Hall is Ludlow’s longest surviving structure. Sponsored by The Starke Family Foundation.
