The Adam Pence House in Lincoln County, Kentucky, near Stanford, Kentucky, was built in 1851. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.^[1]

It was a red brick I-house with a rear ell, fronted by four two-story white pillars. In 1978 it was deemed "architecturally significant as being one of the grand Greek Revival rural residences of Lincoln County to survive in a relatively unaltered state."^[2]

It was built for Adam Pence in 1851 with bricks made ("burned") on its property, and with lumber transported from Somerset, Kentucky.^[2] Adam Pence fought in the War of 1812 and the house was built on land given to him for his service in that war.^[3]

An 1898 photo of the home, labelled as the "Matheny-Pence House on Old Somerset Road", appears in a Lincoln County history compiled by the local historical society.^[3] Labelled as "Yankees" in the photo are husband and wife Adam Richard Matheny and Franciska Hornath Matheny.^[3]

Its location is about 5 miles (8.0 km) south of Stanford on Kentucky Route 1247.^[1]
