Adams House.  This house is believed to have been built sometimes around 1890 by W.W. Adams, a prominent merchant and long-time mayor of Edgefield.  It is of a classic Victorian design and has been credited to George F. Barber of Knoxville, Tennessee, who published books of Victorian-era house plans in the period 1890-1910.  One could order the house of his choice, and it would be delivered by boxcar.  When Mr. Adams died in 1913 he was one of the wealthiest men in the Town.  His family continued to own the house up until the mid twentieth century.
