Emma Abbott Memorial Chapel

The Emma Abbott Memorial Chapel is a late Victorian church located at 52 Cooper St., Charleston, South Carolina. On October 4, 1890, the Citadel Square Baptist Church bought a parcel at the northwest corner of Cooper and America Streets for the construction of a mission church serving the Eastside. The land was marshy and had to be filled at a cost of $1500. In January 1891, Citadel Square Church learned that it had been named as one of several beneficiaries of the estate of Emma Abbott, a popular opera singer. She had attended church at Citadel Square Church during trips to Charleston in 1880, 1886, and February 1888. Abbott left the church $5,000, but because of New York probate laws, the gift could not be released until January 1892. In the meantime, the church began foundation work for the new church. The church hired Richmond, Virginia architect S.H. Foulk to design their new mission. The work was performed by John Murphy for $4,000; he finished the work in December 1892. The cost of the building had been higher than expected, and the steeple was not built. A two-story entrance tower appears to have been a later addition. The church was designed in the Romanesque Revival style and has broad gables with shingles, narrow weatherboard siding, and large round-topped openings. The interior is executed largely in wood. Since 1977, the church has been occupied by the Mt. Sinai Holiness Church of Deliverance. References
Faith Cabin Library at Anderson County Training School

The Faith Cabin Library at Anderson County Training School in Pendleton, South Carolina was one of the 26 Faith Cabin Libraries constructed in South Carolina to offer library services to rural African Americans who were barred from using other library facilities. The one-room, free-standing log cabin with a fieldstone chimney and foundation was built on the grounds of the Anderson County Training School, a Rosenwald School, and paid for by money and timber from the local community. It was open year-round to serve the community and school until its closure in 1954 when a new equalization school was built nearby. It is currently owned by the Pendleton Community Center. References
James Ferguson House

The James Ferguson House at 442 King St., Charleston, South Carolina, is an antebellum house dating to at least 1840. As of 2000 it was being used as a restaurant. The house was constructed for James Ferguson, a planter from Berkeley County, South Carolina. Subsequently, it was owned by the Amme family, well known locally for their bakery. The family renovated the house and added a Victorian storefront, giving it the appearance of a three-story building. By 1976, the house was in poor condition. The Charleston Board of Architectural Review approved its demolition subject to a 180-day delay; preservationists opposed the demolition as the house was an especially early building for upper King Street. Before the house was razed, two men bought it with the intent of turning it into a restaurant. However, the house was not restored until more than 20 years later when a neighboring property owner purchased it and restored it. The house became the location of Fish, a Charleston restaurant. The restoration returned the appearance of its front façade to the 1840s era. References
First (Scots) Presbyterian Church

First (Scots) Presbyterian Church (locally known as "First Scots") is a historic church located at 53 Meeting St., Charleston, South Carolina. The congregation was established in 1731 when a dozen Scottish residents left the Independent Church of Charleston, now called the Circular Congregational Church. History The current building was constructed in 1814, making it the fifth oldest church building in the city. The buildings design was inspired by Baltimore Basilica in Baltimore, Maryland.It contains a number of Scottish symbols in the stained glass windows and a symbol of Scotland – the thistle, on the wrought iron grilles. The building was built by Scottish brothers John and James Gordon. Their building replaced an earlier, wooden church, whose location is marked in the churchyard with tartan flags. The church has two bell towers, but its bells were donated to the military during the Civil War. For years after, the story was told that the bells were never replaced to honor the Confederate dead. In 1999, a bell, built in 1814, was reinstalled in the northern tower. St. Johns Church in Preston, Lancashire, England, had had eight bells in its own historic church, but no longer needed them when a replacement set was acquired. One bell had been damaged, but seven were passed to a British bell company. First Scots made plans to bring the seven working bells to Charleston and hang them in their towers. The southern tower, however, was found to be too weakened from the 1886 Charleston earthquake to support the six smaller bells. Still, the largest of the bells from St. Johns was hung in the northern tower. The bell - which weighs 1,470 pounds and is 43 inches in diameter, was funded in large part by congregant Bonnie Workman; the bell is named "Bonnie" in her honor. References
Primeira Igreja Presbiteriana Escocesa de Charleston

A Primeira Igreja Presbiteriana Escocesa de Charleston (PIPEC) - em inglês: First Scots Presbyterian Church of Charleston - é uma igreja histórica localizada em Meeting St., Charleston, Carolina do Sul. A congregação foi fundada em 1731 quando uma dúzia de residentes escoceses deixaram a Igreja Independente de Charleston (agora a Igreja Circular Congregacional) . O edifício atual foi construído em 1814, tornando-se o quinto mais antigo edifício de igreja na cidade. A igreja é conhecida também pela sua produção musical, como o Festival anual de Bach. História O design dos edifícios foi inspirado na Basílica de Baltimore em Baltimore, Maryland e contém vários símbolos escoceses nos vitrais e um símbolo da Escócia , o cardo , nas grades de ferro forjado. O edifício foi construído pelos irmãos escoceses John e James Gordon. O prédio deles substituiu uma igreja de madeira anterior, cuja localização é marcada no pátio da igreja com bandeiras de tartan. A igreja tem duas torres sineiras, mas seus sinos foram doados para os militares durante a Guerra Civil Americana . Nos anos seguintes, foi contada a história de que os sinos nunca foram substituídos para homenagear os mortos da Confederação. Em 1999, um sino, construído em 1814, foi reinstalado na torre norte. A Igreja de São João em Preston, Lancashire , Inglaterra, teve oito sinos em sua própria igreja histórica, mas não precisava mais deles quando um conjunto de substituição foi adquirido. Um sino foi danificado, mas sete foram passados para uma empresa britânica. Os primeiros escoceses fizeram planos para trazer os sete sinos de trabalho para Charleston e pendurá-los em suas torres. A torre do sul, no entanto, foi considerada muito enfraquecida pelo terremoto de 1886 em Charleston para apoiar os seis sinos menores. Ainda assim, o maior dos sinos da Igreja de São João estava pendurado na torre norte. O sino, que pesa 1.470 libras e tem 43 polegadas de diâmetro, foi financiado em grande parte pela congregante Bonnie Workman; o sino é chamado "Bonnie" em sua honra. Doutrina A igreja local é federada a Igreja Presbiteriana (EUA), pelo que sua teologia é reformada, calvinista e subscrevente dos Símbolos de Westminster (Confissão de Fé de Westminster , Catecismo Maior de Westminster e Breve Catecismo de Westminster).

Fort Sumter Hotel

The Fort Sumter House is a seven-story condominium building located at 1 King St., Charleston, South Carolina, originally built as the Fort Sumter Hotel. Work began on April 1, 1923, and guests were accepted starting in April 1924, but the formal opening was on May 6, 1924. The hotel cost $850,000 to build. The 225-room hotel was designed by G. Lloyd Preacher of Atlanta, Georgia. The hotel was the site of a tryst between John F. Kennedy and a Danish woman with connection to the Nazis. On February 6, 1942, just after Kennedy arrived in Charleston for service with naval intelligence, he spent three nights at the Fort Sumter Hotel with a former Miss Denmark, Inga Arvad. The FBI was monitoring Arvad and taped the encounters. The information was then passed to Kennedy's father, Joseph Kennedy, who, in an effort to separate his son from Arvad, had him reassigned to a PT boat in the Pacific, the now famous PT-109. John F. Kennedy remarked, "They shipped my ass out of town to break us up." Starting on July 22, 1942, the hotel was used as the headquarters for the sixth naval district for $80,000 per year. It was refurbished and reopened as a hotel in 1946. In April 1947, Tennessee Williams and agent Audrey Wood met with Irene Selznick at the Fort Sumter Hotel to discuss her producing his newest play A Streetcar Named Desire (just recently renamed from the original title Poker Night). Tennessee Williams: Mad Pilgrimage of the Flesh by John Lahr, 2014, p. 127. In 1956, the hotel considered an expansion of 60 to 100 rooms to accommodate the increase in convention business seen in Charleston. The hotel was sold to Sheraton Hotels in 1967 for $435,000. The chain spent a further $500,000 on renovations and renamed the property the Sheraton-Fort Sumter Hotel. Sheraton sold the hotel to a group of local investors in 1973 for $850,000. They closed the hotel and spent $2 million converting the 225-room hotel into a 67-unit condominium complex. The condo units were expected to sell from $36,000 to $120,000 for a penthouse unit. The addition of the penthouse units resulted in the creation of an eighth floor, but the change was barely noticeable from outside since it was done by reworking the roof of the building. References
Fountain Inn High School

The Fountain Inn High School was a building that formerly served as a high school, located in Fountain Inn, South Carolina. It was designed by the Greenville, South Carolina based architectural firm Beacham and LeGrand and built in 1939. An example of New Deal-era design in the Moderne style, its construction was undertaken using grants by the Public Works Administration program. The T-shaped two-story building on a basement has exterior brick walls set on concrete footings. The original 800-seat auditorium has hardwood flooring on the main floor as well as the stage floor. The ceiling features period art deco style patterned panels and lights. The sides of the auditorium are covered in wood panels. The building served as the high school for the town for only 17 years, until the construction of Hillcrest High School was completed just outside the town. In 1957 when the new high school opened, the building became Fountain Inn Elementary School until a new school was constructed in 1997. The building was purchased by the city from the Greenville County School District in 1999. As the Fountain Inn Center for Visual and Performing Arts, it served the city of Fountain Inn by featuring traveling acts, a resident orchestra, a theater company and an arts academy. In 2013, the building was renamed the Younts Center for Performing Arts and began a multi-phase remodeling project that includes renovation to the theater, the lobby and the exterior. A new high school has been built and opened in August 2021. References External links Younts Center for Performing Arts

Robert Gibbes House

The Robert Gibbes House in Charleston, South Carolina, was built in the Adamesque style at least by the time Robert Gibbes, Jr. was occupying it in 1819, perhaps earlier. The land upon which the house was built, at the northwest corner of Elizabeth and John Streets, had belonged to William Wragg and passed to his heirs after Wragg died in 1796. The property was subsequently acquired in part by Gabriel Manigault. It is possible that Manigault, an amateur but successful architect known for his Adamesque designs, had a hand in designing the building before dying in 1809. The property was later reacquired by Robert Gibbes' family and remained in his family until 1863. The house began a Charleston single house with two-story piazzas overlooking John Street to the south. The interior features Adamesque woodwork. References
Gilreath's Mill

Gilreath's Mill (at times also known as Heller's Mill, Bruce's Mill, and Taylor's Mill) is located on South Carolina Highway 101, near the town of Greer, South Carolina. The 2+1⁄2-story mill which sits on stone pillars was likely built ca1814, however, records can only confirm its existence as far back as 1839. It is one of the few remaining original mills that once provided staple foods and provided a place for rural residents to congregate. The building, built by Joel Bruce, includes two gable-roof sheds that were added to the north end of the original building. The water wheel, which powered the mill, is located to the southwest of the building. The mill produced both cornmeal as well as flour. References

The original kitchen building is tied to the main house by a later addition. References
Great Falls station (South Carolina)

Great Falls Depot, also known as the Seaboard Air Line Railway Depot, is a historic train station located at Great Falls, Chester County, South Carolina. It was built in 1911–1912 by the Seaboard Air Line Railroad. It is a one-story, rectangular brick building, with a hipped roof and eaves that extend six feet beyond the building. The design of the waiting room area exemplifies the prevailing early-20th century practice of separate accommodations for blacks and whites. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. References
Greer station

The Greer Depot is a former railroad depot listed on the National Register of Historic Places and located in Greer, South Carolina. The combination passenger station and freight warehouse was designed by the Charlotte, North Carolina-based architect, Charles Christian Hook, and constructed in 1913 for the Piedmont and Northern Railway. The depot was designed as a combination passenger station and freight warehouse for the Piedmont & Northern Railway and later used by Seaboard Coast Line Railroad, before facing potential demolition in 1983. It is the last surviving of the original 5 two-story depots built for the railway. The building has a yellow brick exterior on a wider red brick base. The hip roof is covered in red clay tile supported by a wood truss and timber plank system. The second story room of the depot served as Greer City Council Chambers from 1913 to 1937 and then served as a city record storage room until the 1950s. The depot, which had been boarded up and unused from the early 1970s until 1983, was saved from the wrecking ball by Greenville County Redevelopment Authority in 1984 before being sold to Station One Partnership in 1987. It was redeveloped and subdivided to create retail and commercial spaces from 1987 to 2020. The building was sold to Western Carolina Railway Service Corporation (WCRS) subsidiary Letchworth Properties, LLC, in 2017. Redesignated as "Historic Greer Depot" in 2017, the building now serves as the General and Administrative offices of WCRS and its subsidiaries, hosts a boutique beer and wine store, as well as the Historic Greer Depot Event Venue & Meeting Space within the former warehouse space, following the August 2021 completion of a historic renovation of the entire structure. The indoor event space consists of a 3,700 sq. ft. main room, including modern ADA-accessible restrooms and a catering kitchen. In addition, a 900 sq. ft. outdoor rose garden space was added a part of the 2020–2021 renovation. The Rose Garden was dedicated as the "Marlene Faye Holdsworth Hawkins Historic Greer Depot Memorial Rose Garden" on January 9, 2020. The former warehouse space was dedicated as the "Rudolph M. Hawkins Historic Greer Depot Event Venue & Meeting Space" on October 15, 2021. The latter dedication was timed to coincide 108 years to the day of the first Piedmont and Northern passenger train departing Greer Depot on October 15, 1913. References
Greer Post Office

The Greer Post Office is a historic building and former United States post office in Greer, South Carolina, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Colonial Revival–style post office was constructed in 1935 under the supervision of the Public Works Administration during the New Deal era and designed by New York City–based architect Donald G. Anderson, with Louis A. Simon named as supervising architect. Unlike this post office, most New Deal era buildings were designed by in-house architects. The building lobby features a post office mural, Cotton and Peach Growing, painted in 1940 by Winfield Walkley. Although the mural was roughly handled and covered with paneling when the post office became the Greer city hall in 1968, the paneling was removed in 2008 following acquisition of the property by the museum. The mural is one of 13 commissioned between 1938 and 1941 by the Treasury Section of Fine Arts for South Carolina federal buildings and post offices. In 1964, the building was sold to the city of Greer for use as a city hall. References External links City of Greer: Greer Heritage Museum
Hannah Enston Building

The Hannah Enston Building is a post-bellum commercial building at 171-173 King St., Charleston, South Carolina. A former building, constructed for furniture dealer William Enston, was burned in a fire in 1861. The replacement building was in place by 1872 when it was included in a bird's eye view map of Charleston. The building was built in the Gothic Revival style with similar decorative elements to 187-189-191 King St., a building built for William Enston sometime after 1848. After the death of William Enston, his property eventually was received by the trustees of a charity which he created to build the William Enston Home, and the trustees sold 171-173 King St. in 1888. From 1888 to 1909, the two halves of the building were separately owned. The southern portion of the building at 171 King St. was operated as a grocery by George Mazo; his son, writer Earl Mazo, and the rest of the family lived on the second floor. Henry Rider Dearing and his wife Pauline Rowland Dearing apparently resided in the northern portion of the building in 1900. Birth records for Charleston indicate Pauline gave birth to a daughter (unknown first name) at 173 King Street on October 6, 1900. The records state Henry was a plumber. References

Isaqueena

Isaqueena, also known as the Gassaway Mansion, is a historic house in Greenville, South Carolina, and the largest private residence in the Upstate. In 1982 it was listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The 40-room house was built between 1919 and 1924 by Walter L. Gassaway, a banker and textile mill owner; his wife, Minnie Quinn Gassaway, designed the structure after taking a correspondence course in architecture. Mrs. Gassaway used the mansion itself for entertaining, including card parties and "entertainments in the music room and ballroom", but she also supervised the 110-acre estate that included a working farm and dairy. As the National Register nomination notes, the three-story house is "an unusual example of eclecticism", blending neo-Gothic and neoclassical elements that include six Doric columns, a Palladian window, a castellated tower, two rooftop patios, and a massive porte-cochère. Stone for the random bond masonry was in part taken from a mid-nineteenth-century grist mill on the Reedy River owned by Greenville founder Vardry McBee. Walter Gassaway died of a heart attack on June 4, 1930. The following year his widow abandoned Isaqueena for a smaller home (which she also designed) closer to downtown Greenville. Most of the estate was sold for house lots, and the mansion was converted into rental apartments. In 1959, the building was purchased by the fledgling Greenville Art Museum, which occupied it and built an art school building on the property. After the art museum moved to a purpose-built gallery on Greenville's Heritage Green in 1974, the mansion sat vacant until purchased in 1977 for use as a church and school. The building once again became a private residence in the 1990s, and it has since been maintained through rentals as a wedding venue. References
Ralph Izard House

The Ralph Izard is a pre-Revolutionary house at 110 Broad St., Charleston, South Carolina. Although the house is known as the Ralph Izard House, it was likely built by a former owner, William Harvey. The house was listed in the will of Izard of September 1757, but Izard had only acquired the parcel three months before his death. In 1837, the house was sold to Joel Roberts Poinsett and Mary Poinsett. They held the house for more than twenty years before selling it to Judge Mitchell King, a municipal judge and trustee for the College of Charleston. Among his descendants who occupied the house was George D. Bryan, a mayor of Charleston. References
