28 Mountain Street, Glen Williams
The Ainley House was added to the Town’s heritage register in 2007. It was singled out “as a unique example of the Queen Anne Revival style,” in the staff report, which noted “there are no other listed or designated properties on the Town’s Heritage Register identified as being in the Queen Anne Revival style.”
The report says the style of housing was popular among the wealthy upper-middle class during the time period with “the detailed wooden porch, cut stone foundation, brick exterior, and detailed wooden hung windows with wooden shutters…highly decorative railing and detailed woodwork” demonstrate the wealth of the owner when it was built.
It was built in 1890 for Norman Ainley and his family, though the property was left in the name of Glen Woollen Mills Ltd. until it was transferred to Olive Logan in 1939. Logan, an active member of the community, was a member of the Business and Professional Women’s Club and worked in the office at the Alliance Paper Mills.
It has changed ownership several times since she moved to Georgetown in 1947. The current owner purchased it in 2010.
