In the process of being built by Thomas Carter on the corner of Second and Main Streets and was almost completed at the time the old Carter Ho

use on Front Street (where the Vanceburg Christian Church is now located) burned down. The three-story building was built of brick, adorned with Italian marble, and had wrought-iron balconies on the Main and Second Street sides. As of 1905 the hotel contained 43 furnished guest rooms and served meals in a dining room well known for its high quality. Thomas Carter’s nephew Jack Carter took charge of the Hotel in March 1898 at the age of 37. He kept a well-stocked bar, according to a business listing in “The Sun” in 1900. The bar was lighted with electricity and was stocked with pure Bourbon and rye whiskeys. Sohl’s Old Gold beer was kept on tap and the Anheuser-Busch and Blue Grass bottled beer were sold. The hotel became known as one of the finest hostelries in Eastern Kentucky and was a favorite stopping place for traveling men. In 1906, local option laws banned saloons in Vanceburg, and this caused difficulties for the economic viability of the Carter House. The Carter House was a well-known landmark for hotel guests for approximately 20 years, but with the changing of alcohol laws, travel patterns, and cost of labor it became unprofitable. In 1919 the hotel was run as a rooming house by John Austin, for employees working on the first set of locks and dams on the Ohio River just below Vanceburg. In 1920 flames greatly damaged the third floor of the Carter House. The property was purchased by Max Block, who removed the upper story, renovated and built an apartment on the top floor, and opened a department store on the first floor. It eventually came into the hands of his son and daughter-in-law, Celia, and David Timmer. Upon the closing of the department store, the upstairs of the building later became the home of Stanley and Bertram attorney at law. The first floor housed Cabinet for Health and Family Services until they moved into their new building next to Dollar Store on the AA HWY

The Carter House was purchased by Shirley and Cary Cagle, who turned it into the current Event Center. They also have a Friday night Steak Night with steaks grilled by Shirley’s brother, Kenny Claxon, well known in the region from his former Kenny’s Restaurant on Second Street. The Cagle’s vision is to recreate the elegance and reputation of the first Carter House

ANIMAL CONTROL OFFICER

Concerning the open position of a full-time animal control officer for the Lewis County Animal Shelter, there has been some misinformation circulating concerning the matter.

Lewis County Fiscal Court authorized the judge/executive to fill the position at an annual salary of $27,000 (based on experience) plus a benefits package.

The position was widely advertised and more than 60 applications have been received so far. Each application has been reviewed and interviews are being scheduled at this time.

There are a number of statutory requirements that must be adhered to and many minimum requirements that must be met for an applicant to be considered as being qualified to fill the position.

Applicants who appear to be qualified based on stated information will continue to be personally interviewed until a candidate is determined to be the best person to fill the position.

There are many unfounded accusations and assumptions that have been spread through social media which simply are not true.

The dogs at the shelter are being well cared for and those on medication are receiving it as prescribed.

Please be assured the proper procedures are being followed and extra care is being taken to help confirm the best person for this position is chosen.
