Built as a home in 1885, Robert Allen Cates, the town’s postmaster, lived here with his family until he chose to make it into a general store. In 1938, the nearby church used it as a Sunday school. The building was recently restored. It’s a contributing building to the Glenn Springs Historic District.
Completed in 1908, the Old Stone Church, also known as the Glenn Springs Presbyterian Church, served the Glenn Springs community until a newer church was built in 1961. The church fell into disrepair, and in 2007, a ten-year restoration project was started. It’s now available for private events.
Founded in 1848, the Calvary Episcopal Church is in the former resort town, Glenn Springs, started by John B. Glenn who had a mineral spring on his property. This Carpenter Gothic church was built in 1897. It lists as part of the Glenn Springs Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places.
This farmhouse sits in Spartanburg County on a back road near I-26.
Located in historic Glenn Springs, this transitional Greek Revival home belonged to Lillie Mae and Bill Smith. It was built in 1880. It’s still in the family, and they do have a desire to restore. I understand there is a grand staircase in the home. I highly recommend a visit to the town because of the historic buildings there.
It’s not often you see a knife wielding mannequin on the porch of a store.
