Boone-Withers House, Historic residence in Waynesville, United States.

The Boone-Withers House is a post-Civil War residence in Waynesville with two-story construction and distinctive architectural features. The building displays characteristic elements such as a wraparound porch, tall chimneys, and three additional two-story bay windows.

The Boone-Withers House was built about 1883 for John Kader Boone by local carpenter Sam Liner. Boone died in 1912, and the second owner, James D. Grant of New Orleans, had it renovated in 1914 to designs by Asheville architect William H. Lord, using it as a summer home. Ernest L. Withers bought the house in 1923; it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.

The house shows how wealthy families in this region lived during the late 1800s and what architectural styles they preferred. It reflects the taste of an era when elaborately designed homes like this one signaled the owner's social standing in the community.

The house is located on Church Street and can be viewed from the street, with the facade and details clearly visible. The best view of the architecture comes from the front of the property, where you can see the spatial layout and decorative elements clearly.

Rodney Conard, vice chair of the Waynesville Historic Preservation Society, restored the house; in 2023 he also revitalized the Balsam Mountain Inn. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
