====== William A. Tanner House (BE 400) ======

Located on Old Toll Road, The Tanner House is a well-detailed Italianate dwelling of single-story, center-passage plan that includes a low, center gable and large, multi-light windows that extend nearly from floor to ceiling.  The main doorway contains twin arched, glazed panels and is framed by a multi-light transom and sidelights.  The front lot line is marked by a drylaid stone wall, or “rock fence,” which is mentioned in some of the deeds for the property.  

The lot was part of an 11-acre tract sold by Lewis Aylor to William A. Tanner in [[1872]].  The property lies along the former alignment of the [[transportation in boone county|Louisville Turnpike]], since bypassed and rebuilt.
