History

The house was built for the first president of Pelham Manufacturing Company, Arthur Barnwell, on the banks of the Enoree River. The ruins of Pelham Mill and the Pelham mill village are on the opposite side of the river. It was believed to be built some time between 1880 and 1900.[2]

It has been disassembled in ca 2015 and the parts are now forgotten and rotting on a location at Abner Creek Road. The original location is now a leveled and barren lot.

Architecture

The house is a wood frame, two and one-half story Queene Anne house. Its irregular plan has bays projecting toward the southwest and northeast sides. The kitchen is a one-story ell on the northwest side. The residence has ship-lap siding. The steep, gabled roof has composition shingles over the original metal roof.[2]
