A vernacular “Downing Cottage,” this Gothic Revival dwelling was built c.[[1860]] for the son of [[Joseph C. Jenkins]], part owner of the [[Boone County Distilling Company]]. Local tradition maintains that the house was sited so the son could be observed by the father, but not heard. In [[1880]] Jenkins sold the house to George R. Berkshire, whose family retained ownership until the 1950s. | A vernacular “Downing Cottage,” this Gothic Revival dwelling was built c.[[1860]] for the son of [[Joseph C.
