The Cox-Hord House is a three-story brick structure in Maysville, Kentucky designed by Cincinnati architect, Edwin Anderson, and built in 1880 at a cost of $49,000. The architectural style is eclectic with elements of Victorian Gothic, Italianate and Victorian Romanesque. It is considered an excellent example of the "Mauve Decade" (1880–1890) due to the "use of the finest materials and superb workmanship". Ceiling heights are 14' for the first floor, 12' for the second and 10' on the third. A variety of wood was used for interior trim including light and dark walnut, cherry, fruit wood and ebony.
