==History==
Lincliff was built in 1911-12 for [[William R. Belknap]], president of [[Belknap Hardware and Manufacturing Company|W. B. Belknap and Company]], then one of the largest wholesale hardware firms in the Midwest. The Belknap family is prominent in Louisville history, and lends its name to the main campus of the [[University of Louisville]]. William R. Belknap hired 
local architects Kenneth McDonald (1852–1940) and [[William J. Dodd]] (1862–1930) to design Lincliff.<ref name="nrhp" />⏎
Charles Platt to design Lincliff, and he based the exterior appearance on a house he designed for William Maxwell in Rockville, Connecticut.  Platt also designed the Speed Mansion, on Altagate Court, in Louisville.⏎
