Terrill House

Boone County, Kentucky, Encyclopedia


The house is made of locally fired brick. It originally had eleven rooms, and a central hall on two floors. The kitchen had a pantry with a fireplace equipped with a crane for cooking on an open hearth. It was built with two side porches. One of them was 40 feet long; the other nearly as long. The beams were often fastened with pegs. The builder carved his name — B. HUBBLE — in the attic. Terrill family tradition says the house was built using plans developed by Benjamin Latrobe. The home remained in the Terrill family until the second World War.
