White House, Historic plantation house on National Register of Historic Places in South Carolina, United States.
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.
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.
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.
The house underwent modern upgrades in the 1920s including electricity and central heating, while Victorian scrollwork was added to the front porches during the 1890s for decorative enhancement.
A surviving log cabin from the original settlement period remains at the rear of the property, providing rare insight into the family's early domestic life before the main house construction.
