Tour of Homes

224 E. Liberty St.

A pivotal house. This lovely 1850s home was a speculative house built in anticipation of the location of Winthrop College in York. However, Winthrop located in Rock Hill since York already had two institutions (Kings Mountain Military Academy and York Female Academy). Present owner-occupants are Mr. and Mrs. James Caldwell.

The house, originally a double angle house, was designed to resemble the Low-Country manor houses. The plantation style is reflected in this frame design and placement of the windows and chimneys as seen in many old homes in York.
