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.)
