SIX HISTORIC PROPERTIES ADDED TO THE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES

Columbia, S.C. – The National Park Service recently announced the listing of seven South Carolina historical sites in the National Register of Historic Places. The National Register of Historic Places, a division of the National Park Service, is the official repository of the Nation’s historic sites and structures deemed worthy of preservation. A product of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, the National Register includes more than 90,000 sites in the United States. 

Recently listed properties in South Carolina include:
•	Robert J. and Lula Ginn House, Anderson County – Located in the West Side neighborhood of Anderson, the Ginn House is significant as an excellent example of a Colonial Revival residence. Built in 1910, the house is remarkably unchanged from its original appearance. The building features a hipped roof with intersecting gables over multiple full height polygonal bays topped with massive pediments, massive granite chimneys, and an extensive wraparound porch with sixteen Tuscan columns and entablature. The house sits on an elevated lot, fronting Webb Street to the east and bordered by Tate Alley to the north. The property also retains one original outbuilding. The Ginn House reflects a facet of Colonial Revival design that emphasized the adaptation of colonial architectural details rather than academic replication of colonial era buildings.  
•	Mosquito Beach Historic District, Charleston County – The Mosquito Beach Historic District is located on a tidal marsh in the Sol Legare community. The district is significant as a well-preserved cultural, commercial, and recreational epicenter for the coastal black community in the Charleston area during Jim Crow segregation. Outstanding features of the district include its retained view shed and rural landscape, as well as the survival of midcentury structures representative of the area’s recreational peak. The buildings, although simple and vernacular in nature, retain original finishes and detail, and their arrangement within the preserved landscape of Mosquito Beach, as well as the surviving remnants of the boardwalk, still reflect the original intent for the strip: a place of socializing and congregation.
•	Mt. Zion Institute High School, Fairfield County – The Mt. Zion Institute High School is a complex of three buildings in Winnsboro. The school is significant for its association with the New Deal and public education in Fairfield County for its architecture. The main school building, built in 1937 by the Public Works Administration and designed by prominent Columbia-based architect James B. Urquhart, consists of a classroom wing, auditorium, and gymnasium. The work was partially funded by the Works Progress Administration (WPA), which supported and supplemented local heritage and architecture during the Great Depression. When built, the new high school was a modern addition to an historic campus that had served the town since the 18th century. The property also includes a late 19th century wood-frame Folk Victorian teacherage as well as a 1950s cafeteria, built on the north side of a since destroyed grammar school.
•	Holly Springs School, Greenville County – Holly Springs School is locally significant as an early example of an African American school in rural Greenville County. Built ca. 1891, the school is a single-story, one-room, wood-frame building with a double front entrance. The school stands as a symbol of the educational struggle of freed men and women in the late 19th century as they worked to overcome the lingering effects of slavery-era anti-literacy laws and provide their children with education despite the re-enshrinement of white supremacy following Reconstruction. It continued to serve nearby black families until 1951, when Greenville County officials shuttered the school as part of a statewide campaign to equalize, and thereby preserve, segregated education. The property thus has multiple significant associations with the historical education of African Americans in Greenville County, extending across several decades. 
•	Myrtle Beach Downtown Historic District, Horry County – The Myrtle Beach Downtown Historic District is a collection of buildings associated with the development of Myrtle Beach in the 20th century, when the city grew from a small resort town with few commercial ventures to a wealthy international tourist destination. The district includes Myrtle Beach’s original downtown core, which illustrates the changes in the city’s economic status from the throes of the Great Depression to the boom of the post-World War II period. These architecturally diverse buildings were constructed between 1927 and 1975, reflecting the changing tastes of a growing city. Some of the early styles include Mission Revival, Art Deco, and Depression Modern commercial buildings, while mid-century changes and additions reflect an automobile-centric postwar aesthetic. 
•	Chapin Commercial Historic District, Lexington County – The Chapin Commercial Historic District is significant for its role in the commercial development of the Town of Chapin between 1901 and 1969. The district occupies the area where the town’s historic commercial center first developed in the 1890s. Most of the contributing buildings originate from two periods associated with local economic growth. From 1901 to 1922, Chapin first boomed as a bustling railroad town, giving rise to a combination of brick and frame buildings that largely served businesses that were heavily dependent on the railroad’s passenger and freight traffic. The Great Depression and the completion of nearby Lake Murray in 1930 severely disrupted the downtown Chapin economy before a period of revitalization finally began in 1940, when tourism traffic to the lake renewed the district and created demand for new town services and more centralized local government. As a result, the period from 1940 through 1969 saw Chapin’s downtown revitalized through new, affordable, and mostly functional commercial architecture.
