124 N. Congress St.

This house was built and occupied in 1904 by Rufus M. Carroll, a former member of the South Carolina Legislature and a Confederate veteran. It is said that the dwelling was constructed from lumber cut from his lands in the Sharon-Bullocks Creek area.

At his death in 1908, title to the property passed to his daughter, Marie Carroll Wallace. At her death in 1941, title passed to her son, Rufus Wallace.

This was the last house built on the east side of this block of North Congress Street, which at that time contained only dwellings. The structure of this Georgian house is considered to be somewhat unusual. Of interest is a circular one story open porch which features a corbeled cornice. Present owner-occupants are Mr. & Mrs. Rufus M. Wallace.
