| The house located at
9391 Gillsville Road in Maysville was built in 1904 for Nora Alexander
Boone (1859-1954) by her father, civil war surgeon Manning Poole
Alexander (1830-1915). Dr. Alexander built two homes next to his
for two of his daughters. Nora Alexander
married Perino Boone (1854-1935), son of Gainesville merchant Joseph
Reese Boone, and descendant of famed frontiersman Daniel Boone.
After the house was built, Perino and Nora moved from Gainesville to
Maysville. Perino Boone died in 1935 and Nora lived in the house
until her death in 1954, at which time the house passed to her
daughter, Mrs. Annie B. Wingfield.
In December of 1954, the house was sold to
Hiram Shewbert. The Shewberts lived in the house until October
2006, at which time David and Donna Turner became the third set of
owners.
Restoration began in November 2006 and was
completed in January 2008. The house originally only had four
rooms, two in front and two directly behind those. A previous
owner stated that an addition of a bath and kitchen was made to the
house in 1924 and, later, a second floor of bedrooms was added over
the bath and kitchen.
The Turners graciously opened their home on
the 2008 Victorian Maysville Christmas Tour of Homes.
