Graniteville Historic District
Graniteville Historic District, Textile industrial district in South Carolina, US
The district includes early textile mill buildings, worker houses, a power canal, and St. John's Methodist Church across a 150-acre area.
William Gregg established this textile manufacturing complex between 1845 and 1849, creating one of the first industrial company towns in the Southern United States.
The district features Gothic Revival architecture in its mill buildings and worker houses, constructed with local blue granite materials.
The historic area contains renovated structures, including Hickman Memorial Hall from 1907, which now functions as office space for modern businesses.
The original mile-long power canal system, constructed in the 1840s, remains visible throughout the district as evidence of early industrial engineering.
