About 1839 this former
plantation house was built
by George Pendleton White
(1801-1849) and his wife,
Ann Hutchison White
(1805-1880). It has since
sheltered five generations
of a pioneer Rock Hill
family. During the War
of 1861-1865 needy
Confederate soldiers were
cared for here. The house
contains a Prophet's
Chamber, reserved for the
exclusive use of visiting
ministers. The east wing
was erected about 1878.
