McCord House, Greek Revival residence in Columbia, US.
The McCord House stands at 1431 Pendleton Street, featuring a one-story portico supported by four stuccoed piers above a raised basement.
Built in 1849, the residence served as headquarters for General Oliver O. Howard during the Civil War in 1865 under General William Sherman's command.
David James McCord and his wife Louisa Susannah Cheves McCord, known for her political essays and poetry, established this residence as their home.
The house occupies 0.2 acres of land and currently belongs to South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster, who purchased it in May 2016.
Enslaved craftsmen John Spann and Anderson Keitt from the Lang Syne plantation constructed this Greek Revival structure with exceptional carpentry skills.
