At its peak during 1900–1930, Falls of Rough was "a small but thriving western Kentucky town of around 250 inhabitants. It consisted of a complex of buildings that included a grist mill (c. 1830), a sawmill, a mill (c. 1890), a general store (c. 1880), a post office (c. 1905), a church (c. 1890) and parsonage, and the Green farm all built by the Green family." The district includes remnants of some of these. Another name proposed for the district was the "Green Family Farm Historic District".[2]
The "visual center" of the district is the brick Willis Green House, built in 1830 and extensively modified in 1879. Its front facade brick is laid in Flemish bond; it rests upon a stone foundation.[2]
