The McWhirter House was designed by prominent architect Joseph Cunningham from Greenville, South Carolina. Built in 1909 for Mrs. Hattie Fripp McWhirter, this neo-classical home was the residence of the McWhirter family, who were influential in Jonesville. The McWhirters owned several stores and business ventures in town. Initially, they were managed by James McWhirter, but he died in 1906. The sons took over the family businesses and continued their father’s legacy.

It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.
