It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987 as Thomas Metcalf House, using an alternative accepted spelling of the governor's name; the listing included the stone house and a smokehouse, on a 45-acre (18 ha) property that also included a non-contributing barn.[1]

Its location was given in the 1984 document as "6/10 mile south of U.S. 61, 1-1/2 mile east of Kentucky 617, two miles east of Kentontown, near Mt. Olivet."[2] It appears to be the house at intersection of what are now named Willie Curtis Rd. and Cedar Creek Rd., at 38°29′49″N 84°5′38″W. This is 2.8 miles east of Kentontown by road or 4.5 miles southwest of Olivet by road.[3]

A later home of Thomas Metcalfe, Forest Retreat in Nicholas County, is also listed on the National Register.
