DescriptionJohn G. Tomlin House, Main Street, Walton, KY - 52719592730.jpg
English: Built in 1891, this Queen Anne-style house was built for John Grant Tomlin, an attorney and owner of a local tobacco company, and his wife, Helen Tomlin. The house was renovated circa 1900 with the addition of a vestibule and a few other elements, and remained the home of Helen Tomlin after she was widowed in 1919 or 1920. In 1930, the house was sold to John L. Vest, the owner of the Boone County Chevrolet Dealership in Walton, and his wife, Edna M. Vest. During this time, the house was extended to the rear and further alterations were made. The house was sold in 1949 to Maurice Williams, and his wife, Elsie Williams. The house is clad in wooden clapboard with wings featuring gable roofs extending south, north, east, and west from the central roof, which is hipped with a low-slope top, one-over-one double-hung windows, shiplap cladding on the gable ends with decorative bands of sawn wooden trim and brackets at the base of the gabled roofs, decorative window trim with rosettes and routed channels, a front entrance vestibule with a front odor featuring decorative glass sidelights and a transom, a wrap-around porch with a curved corner, low-pitch hipped roof, and fluted ionic columns, a side porch to the rear with doric columns and a partially enclosed section, a two-story bay window on the north facade, and a rusticated stone base. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.
