Completed by 1891, the W. P. Irwin house is the oldest home in the Hampton Heights Historic District. Irwin was a railroad executive and was listed as the Chair of the Railroad Commission in 1888.

His brother, Arthur Irwin, built a home in the same neighborhood.

Built in 1911 by Walter S. Montgomery (Spartan Mills), this Queen Anne has been called home by several families. Notably, the Oren L. Brady family and descendants (Treasurers of Spartanburg) lived here from 1937 to the 1980s.

In earlier photos, the home was painted white. The current paint color draws out the cornice detail.

I am also fond of how into Halloween the current residents are.

The grand dame of the Hampton Heights district is this Queen Anne built by Arthur Irwin, pharmacist and brother of W. P. Irwin. The home was built in 1892.
