William Elliott White House

The William Elliott White House, also known as the White Homestead, is a historic residence located near Fort Mill, South Carolina. Constructed in 1831 by prominent landowner William Elliott White, the house is an exemplary representation of Federal-style architecture, characterized by its symmetrical design, tall narrow windows, and elegant portico. The main structure was built by contractor Thomas B. Hoover and stands as one of the earliest brick buildings in York County.

The White House holds significant historical importance due to its association with the final meeting of the Confederate Cabinet. On April 27, 1865, during the waning days of the Civil War, President Jefferson Davis and his cabinet convened on the grounds of the White House. This meeting is considered one of the last official gatherings of the Confederate government.

In the 20th century, the property became the residence of Elliott White Springs, a notable South Carolina textile magnate and writer. Springs was renowned for his contributions to the textile industry and his literary works during the1920s and 1930s. Under his ownership, the estate expanded with the addition of wings in 1922 and 1936, and a greenhouse/pool in 1955, blending historical architecture with modern amenities.

Recognizing its architectural and historical significance, the William Elliott White House was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 22, 1987. Today, it stands as a testament to the rich history of Fort Mill and the enduring legacy of its influential residents.
