The McDowell Lifestyle evokes the historical and cozy feel of the English Hunt Country. Lee named the McDowell Lifestyle after his son, Walker McDowell, but the name extends far back into Lee’s wife’s family ancestry and the history of Kentucky.

The McDowell Lifestyle recalls the history of the esteemed doctor whose life was deeply steeped in English tradition. Ephraim McDowell, born in 1771, was a pioneering surgeon and participated in the conventions that resulted in the drafting of the Kentucky constitution.
