I found an article from the University of Kentucky’s website entitled “History of the President’s Residence”.
The President’s House is located off of Rose street next to the “Chem-Phys” Building. The house was built in the 1820s as Maxwell Place by, a prominent Lexington businessman and politician, Dennis Mulligan for his son, James Mulligan, and daughter-in-law, Mary Mulligan. James Mulligan passed away in 1915. In 1917 The University of Kentucky purchased Maxwell Place for 40,000 dollars. A major renovation took place in 1918 which included additions and enclosures at the rear of the house and a long, narrow pergola leading from the drive to the tower vestibule. In 1918, Dr. Frank L. McVey became the first university president to live in Maxwell Place. Now President Eli Capilouto currently Resides at Maxwell Place.

Michael, this is a good summary of the article you used, but you are missing the questions/reflection section. In future posts, you need to ask questions that the source raises in your mind. You also should reflect on how it could lead you to further research and how it could be incorporated in a documentary.
