The Roof-Harman House

On the corner of Main Street and Church Street in Lexington is a mural of the Roof-Harman House, circa 1883.

According to writing on the mural, the home was a post-antebellum Italiante Victorian residence built for the Pickens-Roof family by a Mr. Smithdeal. The home was a social mecca for generations. In 1998, it was purchased from Mr. & Mrs. Harry O. Harman, Jr., by St. Stephen’s Lutheran Church and moved from its original site.
