6 Kings Mountain St.

Built between 1880 and 1890, this Victorian cottage with a gable roof is 1½ stories high and features a 1½ story wing, a 1½ story bay with imbricated shingles, an open shed porch, an entablature above the main door, and 9/9 windows.
Ross Cannon was the occupant of this home when he traded houses with the Finley family (#88). David Edward Finley, Jr., the first Director of the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., was raised in this house. For many years his brother, William Gist Finley, was Solicitor of the Sixth Circuit of the General Sessions Court for South Carolina, which included York, Chester, Lancaster, and Union Counties. Many of the home's features, such as the marble mantels and the ship's light in the porch, were gifts to Gist and his wife, Carey, from his brother, David.
