Abner Gaines House, Federal-style residence in Walton, United States.
The Abner Gaines House features three separate stairways and ten carved mantels within its two-and-a-half-story brick structure built in 1814.
The property served as a stagecoach stop on the first line between Cincinnati and Lexington, with trips taking thirty-four hours in 1818.
The Federal architecture of the house displays symmetrical design elements and decorative features that represent early 19th-century American building traditions.
Located at coordinates 38.884103, -84.608267, the house now functions as the Gaines Tavern History Center after its acquisition by Walton city in 2006.
The house remained in the Gaines family for four generations and narrowly escaped demolition in 1897 before operating as an antiques shop from 1930 to 1997.
