Mission

History

The White Home started out as a one room cabin that sat within the Catawba Land Lease. George and Ann White subleased the land and lived in the cabin as they built a larger house. Eventually, the larger family home was connected to the cabin and following her husband's death, Ann was forced to turn the home into a boarding house to make ends meet. Following the Civil War and after she inherited funds from a brother, she built a Carpenter's Gothic addition to the rear. The family lived in the house until 2005 when Historic Rock Hill purchased the home and restored it.
