Fryer House, Stone house in Butler, Kentucky
The Fryer House features thick limestone walls, a two-story three-bay design, and one-story frame additions on the east and north sides of the building.
Walter Fryer commissioned Abraham Vastine to build this residence in 1811, using limestone from a neighboring quarry, with construction completed in 1813.
The Pendleton County Historical Society transformed the building into a museum and office space in 2007 after seven years of vacancy.

The building maintains its original roof truss system constructed with wooden framing components connected by wooden pegs instead of metal fasteners.
