This is "Hunter's Store" in Pendleton, South Carolina. "Located in the center of Historic Pendleton (1790), the building now housing the Pendleton District Commission was constructed in 1850 as a general store for Jesse Lewis. The business first came into the Hunter family in 1870 when it became "Hunter and Long." Partner James Hunter bought full control of the business which passed through several generations of Hunter ownership, becoming known as simply 'Hunter's Store.'
"Everything from A to Z -- apples to zinnia seeds -- could be purchased as Hunter's Store. "Dry Goods" such as shoes and clothing were sold alongside local produce such as fresh eggs, other foodstuff like flour and coffee, as well as farm tools and chicken feed. "One-Stop Shopping" is not a recent invention!"
"In 1929 a new building was constructed next door and opened that year as the new Hunter's Store. The 1850 building was used for storage and workspace until the store ceased operation in 1962."
"In 1968 the Tri-County Pendleton District Commission bought the old general store and has used it since then as the Commission's headquarters, including a Local and Family History archives. The Commission installed the first plumbing and electricity in this building. Otherwise, few changes have been made to the structure which retains its original exterior appearance as well as the interior's board flooring and even the neat hooks in the high ceiling."

This building is known as Farmers Society Hall and is located in Pendleton, South Carolina. "In 1826, the Pendleton Farmers Hall was designed to be the new courthouse for the Pendleton District. When the South Carolina Legislature divided the district and created two new courthouse towns, the Pendleton Farmers Society purchased the building. Formed in 1815, notable members of the Pendleton society included Thomas PInckney, John C. Calhoun, and Thomas Green Clemson. Farmers Hall is the longest Farmers Society building in continuous use in the United States." From www.pendletondistrict.org.

This is Lowther Hall located in Pendleton, South Carolina. Concerning this structure, in Remembering South Carolina Old Pendleton District, Hurley E. Badders writes: "One of the most magnificient dwellings in the town is Lowther Hall, which sits on the highest spot of the town. When it was still Pendleton County, the hall was built by Dr. William Hunter, obviously a pioneer because the area was so new. The Hunters lived there until 1805. About that time a lawyer named William Shaw appeared and said he was representing a Lord Lowther. He actually was - more correctly - the Right Honorable William Lord Viscount Lowther, one of the Lords of the Treasury of Great Britain, a commissioner for the affairs of India, etc., etc., etc. Foreigners could not own land at that time America (boy, has that changed!) and Shaw was to be his agent, but all interest were then deeded to William Broadfoot of Charleston to hold for the use of Lord Lowther." Hurley E. Badders adds that it is doubtful that Lord Lowther ever saw the property.
