The
White Home - One of the first homes built in the downtown area of Rock Hill, SC, and the birthplace of our city! Historic
Rock Hill is currently working to restore this
treasure and preserve it for future generations! This is the largest,
most comprehensive restoration project for our group to date.
The site sits on 3.24 acres of what originated as a 160 plus acre farm, built by George Pendleton White and his bride, Ann Hutchison White. The remaining acres have been sold off and developed over the years as an important part of the downtown area. The homeplace has now been purchased by Historic Rock Hill, the grounds
have been cleared of overgrown vegetation, most of the home has been restored, and is scheduled to open in 2010 for public functions, and displays and offices for our organization. There are many more exciting things
happening every day, with more yet to come!
Although great progress has already been made,
there is much to do before this site is restored to its former
grandeur. Historic Rock Hill needs your help to complete
this task and preserve this treasure for everyone. Please
consider making a contribution to this worthy undertaking and
become a part of not only the history of this city, but the future
of Rock Hill as well.
Check in often on this site for information about
complete details of the
project including the history of the property and the White family,
