An historic plantation house turned welcome center
Whitehaven Welcome Center的点评
点评：Cross the bridge that spans the Ohio River from Illinois to Kentucky on I-24 and stop at the Whitehaven Welcome Center at 1845 Lone Oak Road in Paducah. I've never seen a welcome center in any state that compares to it. Built in 1865, it is a historic plantation house that has been used as the Kentucky welcome center since 1983. It is the only historic house in the United States also used as a rest area. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984, it originally was a simple two-story, brick farmhouse but was remodeled in the Classical Revival style in 1903. The renovation included a grand staircase, 22 rooms, elaborate plaster ceilings with crown molding, a large portico with eight Corinthian columns and a name, Whitehaven, to match the new white paint job. The house fell into disrepair in the 1970s and faced demolition but Governor John Y. Brown Jr. and Secretary of Transportation Frank Metts decided that the house could serve as the I-24 welcome center with restrooms, information desk and storage area. Three outbuildings were saved and repurposed -- the gazebo,a storm shelter and carriage house. Part of the second floor of the house was devoted to displaying memorabilia of Vice President Alben Barkley, a lawyer and politician from Kentucky who served from 1949 to 1953 under President Harry Truman.
翻译：沿着I-24高速公路穿过横跨俄亥俄河、连接伊利诺伊州与肯塔基州的桥梁，然后在帕迪尤卡的洛恩奥克路1845号停下，那里就是怀特黑文游客中心。我从未见过其他任何州的游客中心能与之相媲美。该建筑建于1865年，是一座历史悠久的种植园住宅，自1983年起便被用作肯塔基州的游客中心。它是全美唯一一座同时兼具休息区功能的历史建筑。该建筑于1984年被列入美国国家历史名胜名录。它最初只是一座简单的两层砖结构农舍，但在1903年按照古典复兴风格进行了翻修。此次翻修增建了宏伟的楼梯、22个房间，还打造了带有冠饰线脚的精美灰泥天花板；此外还修建了一个带有八根科林斯式圆柱的大型门廊。为了与新刷的白色油漆相呼应，这座房子被命名为“怀特黑文”。20世纪70年代，这座房子逐渐破败失修，甚至面临被拆除的命运，所幸州长约翰·Y·布朗二世出面挽救了它。交通部长弗兰克·梅茨决定，这座房子可以用作I-24公路的游客服务中心，内设卫生间、信息咨询台以及储物区。三座附属建筑也得以保留并重新利用——分别是一个凉亭、一个避灾所和一座马车房。房子的二层部分则用来陈列副总统奥尔本·巴克利的相关纪念品。巴克利是来自肯塔基州的律师兼政治家，曾于1949年至1953年间在哈里·杜鲁门总统任下担任副总统。
