Plantation Plain House-Fountain Inn, South Carolina

I photographed this I-House, also known as a plantation plain, in August 2020. As I was driving home today and avoiding the interstate, I caught a glimpse of the house and realized it had been lost to fire.

The only information I can find on the home is that it was built in the 1880s. I suspect it might be earlier than that.

The many trees made the property hard to photograph.

Principal’s House and Teacherage-Fountain Inn, South Carolina

The Fountain Inn Principal’s House and Teacherage is a home and teacherage (a home for schoolteachers) located in Greenville County, South Carolina. It is last remaining building of an educational complex built for the Black children of Fountain Inn. The Rosenwald database does not mention how much the building cost. It opened in 1935 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.
