POST CARDS THROUGH STEPHEN TURNER’S EYES

On July 15th board member Mr. Stephen Turner provided Historic Rock Hill’s members one of the best
programs they have ever witnessed. His preparation, documentation, explanation and photographs were simply
outstanding. The presentation was much more than just showing images of Rock Hill through his postcard
collection. It entailed the overall history of the postcard business and how it evolved from the mid 19th century
through WWI and on into the 1950s. Most of us in attendance had never seen the volume of images this pro-
gram provided. If you were not there, perhaps next year you can get him to repeat the program. It was that
good!
As I have said, Stephen Turner provided a professional lecture that was enlightening and enjoyable. For those
who are missing opportunities to see such outstanding programs, please remember to view your Lantern for the
next meeting. A change in plans is required to allow our next speaker to show an early Rock Hill film. Mr.
Barry Grant will be our next speaker at the City Hall on Sept. 30th at 7:00 p.m. Take a minute to mark your
calendar for this upcoming meeting. It will prove to be highly educational and fun just as were all the previous
programs. Barry is a local graphic artist with loads of talent for collecting outstanding examples of local history.
The film he will be showing has rarely been seen by anyone in Rock Hill and will indeed be very enjoyable for
our members.
Please remember that sharing this experience with others in the community is a great method to attract new
members. Bring them as guest, and hopefully, they will join Historic Rock Hill as a result.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S REMARKS Wade Fairey

WORK STARTS ANEW OF THE WHITE HOME

Since last year the White Home has gone through a major transformation and renewal due to the ex-
cellent work of Leitner Construction Company and the many donors who make the home’s restoration
possible. The front porches and structural elements from chimney to chimney were replaced on the front,
repaired and rebuilt to standards that allow the home to be safely maintained. The new work started on July 16, 2008, is a
continuation of the original but focuses on the back sections. This includes the foundations, piers, joists and porch at the rear
of the house. Once this work is completed the house will be in a much friendlier state and a large amount of what remains
to be restored on the original home will be cosmetic. This still leaves major structural repairs to the annex, but these are far
less critical than the structural repairs needed on the two story house. Historic Rock Hill hopes to talk with a structural en-
gineer about developing a restoration plan for the annex within the year.
In conjunction with this major work, Paul Gettys and I continue working to catalogue the hundreds of family and
financial papers donated by the White Family to help in accurately restoring the house. Each week that we work on the papers
new information is revealed that makes the whole much greater in the sense that we have a better and better understanding
of the White Home’s evolution. Over the past few weeks we have learned that Ann White was purchasing items of note for
the house, having it painted, repaired and modernized. A few of the records include the
purchase of a cotton gin from Mr. Broach of Rock Hill, Thomas Wood hauling rock for
foundation piers, W.W. Hamilton of Chester providing furniture, and H.W. Campbell
being paid for building the “veranda” on the White Home.
It is remarkable that these outstanding records remain intact and are filling
the gaps of data we need to fully understand the history of Ann White and her property.
When completed, this database will be housed with Historic Rock Hill as well as at the
Winthrop University Archives. We sincerely appreciate members of the White family
generously providing access to this amazing history of construction, financial, political,
social, military and agricultural history of Rock Hill and the upstate.

President’s Remarks
It is again my honor to be named President of Historic Rock Hill! As most of you are aware, I served in this position
for three years previously and was involved in many exciting and rewarding projects led by our organization for many
years prior to that time. It’s been only four years since we began our efforts to acquire and “Save the White Home.” In
this short time, we have made a giant leap from a relatively small group, doing what a small group of volunteers can do,
to a major organization with well over 400 members, leading the community in many aspects of historic preservation. Our
progress could not have been made without you, our members, who have given so generously of your time, talent and fi-
nancial support. With the continuation of this participation, we can continue to grow and accomplish many things to
improve our community’s historic assets in many ways.
I personally appreciate the hard work of the Executive Board, whose hard work and dedication have made all of our
accomplishments possible. Thank you to those committee members who recently rotated off the Board, but be assured
that there will be another opportunity for you to continue your service. Enjoy your break.
Welcome to the new members of the Executive Board! We appreciate your willingness to serve, and look forward to
working with you all as we continue our efforts. Please note the names of Board members elsewhere in this issue, and
when you see them, tell them “Thank You”
I continue to be pleased and excited about our prospects for the White Home and grounds, as well as exploring
other ways to enhance our community. In the near future, we will launch a major campaign to raise the necessary
funds to complete all phases of the project and proudly have this “jewel” on display for everyone to enjoy.
Please let me hear from you if you have any suggestions or want to volunteer to help in any way. You can reach me
at 366-7509, or email at jcs1060@comporium.net.
I look forward to hearing from you.
