405 S Congress St, Winnsboro, SC 29180

Home built in 1849. 14foot ceilings. 5 bedrooms with fireplaces in 4 and in living room and dining room. Plaster walls. Only remodeling in bathrooms. We have kept the character of the house. The kitchen, that was originally on the back of the property, Was moved to attach it to the rear of the house. (It was separate from the house to prevent fires.) The old smokehouse is still on the Macfie property. It still has salt on the floor. The kitchen has been called the school room since the end of the civil war. When the abolutionists came south they used the old kitchen to make a school to teach the blacks how to read. When we bought the house there was still a pot belly stove that was used to heat the room, because the fireplace was closed when the kitchen was moved. The windows are mostly original with two on the front of the house down to the floor. The landscape has been changed little with two magnolias, three tea olives, five plantation pecans, hollies, camellias, susanquas, azaleas, and many oaks. We have mainly added day lilies and annuals.
