The W.S. Blackwell House is a standout example of the Queen Anne style, popular in the late 19th century. Its irregular roofline, corner turret, and decorative gables create a picturesque silhouette. The exterior features a mix of textures, clapboard, shingles, and brick, while the porch offers a welcoming spot to imagine life a century ago. Inside, the rooms are arranged around a central staircase, with original stained glass windows and ornate fireplace mantels. The house reflects the prosperity and aesthetic tastes of Greenville’s post-Reconstruction era.
