PAGE 8—The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, Oct. 22, 1970 The property on which this handsome residence stands was granted in 1814 to Frederick Nance, one of Newberry’s first settlers, by Joseph Alston, then governor of South Caro lina. A grandson, William Nance, built the house in 1857. At the same time, three small houses for slaves were built in the rear; two of these still stand. Mrs. Q. F. Armfield, Sr. and the late Mr. Armfield acquired the house in 1939 and since then have done extensive renova tion. Two-story brick, the house features massive white columns at the front. The stained glass surrounding the entrance, and that above the stair landing in the hall, was installed when the house was built; and almost all of it is the original. Notable features of construc tion are the extremely deep plaster of pans moulding in the living room, panelled fold-back shutters at the unusually wide windows, and interior doors with four octagonal panels and brass knobs. The present kitchen is thought to have been a serving pantry, as the original kitchen was in the small cottage directly be hind the house. (This house will be on the Tricentennial Tour.)
