Description
The White House features traditional Southern architecture with two-story porches supported by columns, tall end chimneys, and weatherboard siding constructed from heart of pine and oak materials.
History
Built between 1832 and 1842 by George Pendleton Stuart White, this structure served as the family residence for five successive generations and represents the oldest house in Rock Hill.
Culture
The property exemplifies the Scotch-Irish Presbyterian settlement heritage of South Carolina's upcountry region, demonstrating the transition from pioneer log cabin living to plantation-style architecture.
