Cedar Springs Historic District, Historic district in Abbeville and Greenwood counties, South Carolina, United States
Cedar Springs Historic District consists of three contributing properties at the junction of Abbeville County Road 33 and Greenwood County Roads 112 and 47. The Stagecoach Inn is a two-story log building from around 1820, its log walls covered with shiplap siding and its original porch enclosed. The Frazier-Pressley House, built 1852–1856 for Captain James W. Frazier, is a three-story stuccoed brick house of three octagonal sections linked by a hallway, with four three-story brick columns on the facade and five brick chimneys. Cedar Springs ARP Church, built circa 1853, is a rectangular brick church with a hip roof, common-bond brickwork bonded every sixth course, and a stone foundation.
The Stagecoach Inn was built in 1820 as a key stop for travelers, displaying two-story log construction with gabled metal roofing that exemplified building methods of that era. The Frazier-Pressley House followed between 1852 and 1856, representing architectural evolution in the region during the 19th century.
The Cedar Springs ARP Church is a rectangular brick church with a hip roof, laid in common bond with a bonding course every sixth row, on a stone foundation. It was built around 1853 to replace an earlier frame church, and a single-story brick wing was added to the rear in the 1940s. Its cemetery stands next to the church.
The three properties sit at the junction of Abbeville County Road 33 and Greenwood County Roads 112 and 47, about 18 km from Greenwood. The church stands beside its cemetery; the Stagecoach Inn and Frazier-Pressley House are private buildings, so view them from the road. The terrain is flat, at roughly 154 m elevation.
The Frazier-Pressley House has three octagonal sections joined by a connecting hallway, with each floor of each octagon forming a single room. Its plan is believed to be unique in the United States. The house originally had a widow's walk on top of the central octagon, and its facade carries four three-story brick columns.
