The George-Vest House is one of the most stylish and best-preserved Greek Revival buildings in Boone County. Originally constructed circa 1840, it is a five-bay I-house of brick construction, featuring a central entrance with distinctive six-panel door, five-light transom sash and both glazed and blind panel sidelights. Windows employ 9/6 or 6/6 lights.
-
During a 1931 remodeling the walls were stuccoed, a beaded fascia board and flat rafter tails were applied, and a three-bay open porch was added. The interior boasts some of the county’s most elaborate and sophisticated Grecian woodwork, including tall paneled pilasters that support full pedimented entablatures.
-
The significance of the farmstead is enhanced by an original stone cellar, a 20th century gambrel dairy barn and two silos.
-
The house was added to the National Register in 2000.
