102 Kings Mountain St.

A pivotal house. The Spencer house, circa 1870, was built by Charles Edward Spencer (1849-1921) on a large tract of land for his first wife, Sarah Harris Clawson (1849-1883). Broad Street, just to the north, runs through this former dairy farm property. Col. Spencer, a professor at Kings Mountain Military Academy, was later a successful York attorney.
The 2½-story home features a prominent front entrance with first-and-second story pedimented porch, both having double doorways framed by entablatures. Inside details include wide central hallways with curved archways, transomed doorway, floor-length windows and eight fireplaces. A summer kitchen is attached to the rear of the home via a bay-windowed studio.
