Reidville Academy Girls Dorm-Reidville, South Carolina

Leave a comment

Initially a dorm for the girls who attended the Reidville Female Academy, it later became a teacher age (housing for teachers). Built in 1858, it shares some simple Second Empire details. It’s mansard roof can’t be seen in these photos.

The school building for the Female Academy no longer stands.

First built as housing for the principal of the Reidville Male Academy, this Greek Revival home evolved into a teacherage. Built in 1858, the house has also served as a private residence and museum.

Pastor’s Study-Reidville, South Carolina

My guess was that this was an old polling place, but I was told it was a detached Pastor’s Study. There’s no longer a church nearby, so I am not certain that is correct.
