What makes this property unique
Our house was built in 1909 by a gentleman by the name of WJ Thackston. He was in real estate, and he bought all of the land in the area from the family of the former Governor of South Carolina, Benjamin Franklin Perry. Thackston along with a group of gentlemen including J.B. Duke (Duke power) and a Furman (Furman university) enticed a textile finishing company to build a plant at the end of what would be come Clarendon Ave. This plant supported a mill village that would grow to become the San Souci Neighborhood, and would feature one of the first golf courses in the south (which would have been behind the cabin). We were told that the cabin was moved to the site as our home was being built, but do not know where it existed previous to that. We assume based on a number of wrought iron nails on the exterior that it was once in a public space, and the nails were from postings and bulletins. We are always looking for more information, but chasing down 100 year history is difficult.
