The Mathias Willis Store House, in Edmonson County, Kentucky near Windyville, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.[1]
It was built by Mathias Will as a "store house," serving river travellers. It is the only dry-stone building known in Edmonson County besides consumptive huts built within Mammoth Caves.[2]
It is a single-room 30 by 60 feet (9.1 m × 18.3 m) dry-stone store building, built on a bank above the Green River, in what was in 1983 a picturesque flat meadow. It is built of quarried, shaped stone that is "fossiliferous, oolitic, bioclastic limestone: Glen Dean member of lower Mississippian series."[2]
The site was listed for its archeological information potential.[1]
