General Allison House - 109
11 Kings Mountain St.
Major General James Breander Allison, U.S. Army Ret'd., built this home for his retirement. He supervised the construction and used only the finest materials. This house is among the three best-constructed houses in York. Note the similarity of design to that found on many army posts. General Allison graduated from The Citadel and was commissioned October 10, 1898 and served in the U.S. Army for 39 years. He was assigned to the Signal Corps in 1919 and served as Commanding General of the Signal Corps from Jan. 1, 1935 until retirement September 30, 1937. Present owner-occupants are Mr. & Mrs. John Q. Robinson.
