====== Johnson and Nancy Aylor House (BE 497) ====== Johnson and Nancy Aylor House Located on Limaburg Road, the Johnson and Nancy Aylor House is a one-story log dwelling with raised-seam metal roof. The main facade is pierced by four bays in a window-door-door-window pattern. Brick slope-shouldered chimneys stand at the gable ends. A one-story, gabled ell, of braced frame construction, was appended to the house soon after its construction; it has since been removed. Like the Joel Garnett House, the Aylor House is a significant expression of log construction in [[Boone County]]. Johnson Aylor was a [[farming|farmer]] of German ancestry whose ancestors were part of Virginia’s [[Germanna]] colony. He married Nancy Margaret Crigler, the daughter of a neighboring farmer, in [[1844]]. The farm remained in the family until the 1950s. The house has endured years of neglect and vandalism but its historic core remains intact. ===== Related Topics ===== * [[Historic Homes]]
