The headquarters of the Kentucky Historical Society shall be located in the Thomas
D. Clark Center for Kentucky History, and the society shall control in all respects
the manner in which the grounds surrounding the center, the building, and the space
therein, shall be used. The society shall exercise the same control over the Old State
Capitol Building, and the society shall use the Old State Capitol Building for
purposes of the society as it shall deem necessary and proper. The grounds around
the Old State Capitol Building and its annex, the grounds being now bounded by
Broadway, Clinton, and Lewis Streets, and adjoining the federal property occupied
by the John C. Watts Building, shall be subject to the control of the society and be
used by the society, for purposes of the society as it shall deem necessary and
proper. Major alterations or other changes concerning the building, annex, or
grounds shall be made under the authority of the governing board of the Kentucky
Historical Society and under the general supervision of the executive director who
shall determine the nature and extent of any work to be done so as to protect the
architectural integrity of the original structures. The maintenance and security of the
building, annex, and grounds shall be the responsibility of the Finance and
Administration Cabinet and shall be of highest priority among the other
responsibilities of the state for capital construction, maintenance, or security. At the
direction of the governing board, the executive director of the society may request
the Finance and Administration Cabinet to perform, or cause to be performed, any
work he deems necessary for the proper preservation and protection of the
properties. The work shall either be undertaken within no less than sixty (60) days
from the date of notification to the Finance and Administration Cabinet, or the
secretary of the cabinet shall show cause, in writing, to the governing board and the
executive director why such work was not undertaken.
No part of, or interest in, the real property hereinabove specified shall be leased,
sold, or otherwise disposed of under any circumstances. The real property, including
the building interiors, shall be maintained and preserved in a manner consistent with
the best interests of the Commonwealth.
