Waccamaw River Warehouse Historic District

Waccamaw River Warehouse Historic District is a national historic district located at Conway in Horry County, South Carolina.[2] It includes three contributing buildings: a steamer terminal (ca. 1880), warehouse (ca. 1890), and tobacco warehouse (ca. 1900). These buildings illustrate the evolution of utilitarian structures at the end of the 19th century, documenting the shift from heavy-timber braced-frame structural members to smaller-member, balloon framing with multiple diagonal bracing and the use of a clerestory for additional light. They are the last extant warehouses in Conway associated with the commercial trade on the Waccamaw River.[3]

gollark: I don't know. There was the Cambridge Analytica mess but apparently they weren't actually that effective and it was mostly just marketing.
gollark: Surely if it was this easy to manipulate large amounts of people into weird political views someone would already be doing it.
