Matthew Kennedy (architect)
Matthew Kennedy, an early, self-proclaimed, architect in Kentucky, designed large brick Federal-style houses during the early 1800s. Several of his works are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
He designed Buknore House, NRHP-listed as ‘’Walker Buckner House’’, and Buknore's mate, Auvergne, on the Winchester Road.
William M. Johnson, author of NRHP nomination for Snow Hill , believed that Kennedy was its architect, based on similarities to Buknore and Auvergne. If Snow Hill was a work by Kennedy, it was one of his last ones.
He designed the Matthew Kennedy House, on Second St. in Lexington, Kentucky.
He designed the principal building of Transylvania University.
