Built for Elijah Kirtley circa 1830, probably by Benjamin Piatt Fowler, this substantial brick I-House served as the Boone House Tavern until 1870. It later became the residence of Fountain Riddell, an attorney, state legislator, and founder of the Boone County Deposit Bank, and of Albert Boyers Renaker, Riddell's son-in-law and bank cashier. Boone County bought the building in 1967 and restored it in 1992.
