Old Photographs of Pendleton SC


Most of these old photographs of Pendleton SC date to the early 1900's. How did I get these photos? Well, that is a good story.

One day Frank Crenshaw showed me these photos and I asked him if I could get copies made. He told me that Mr. Norton Campbell had found an old camera at the home of Punch Hunter, a long time Pendleton resident who died at the ripe old age of 100 plus years. In the old camera was some film that had never been developed so Norton developed them. Most of these pictures are a result of that. On January 26, 1989 I showed these pictures to one of our then 90 year old residents who grew up in Pendleton, Miss Ruth Boggs. She went through the pictures and told me about each one. It was so interesting. I have several pages of notes and will share her thoughts with you.
Some others came from Clemson University's Strom Thurmond Institute.

Pendleton Tire Co. and Burger King display a few of these in their businesses and there are several people around town that have this set of pictures.

I am telling these stories as they were told to me.
Please feel free to shed some light on any of them. I would love to hear from you in the comments section below.
Update: This lens is a lot of fun as I hear from friends that I haven't heard from in awhile offering to share their old photographs. Thank you, Pendleton, for making this lens a community wide project. Please keep sharing those old pictures and stories! I love it!

Hope you enjoy!
Another Update: Due to length of this site, a Part 2 has been developed. I am still adding pictures and stories so hope you enjoy it as well. Please continue to send me pictures and stories. Photos will still be added to this lens as well so please check back.

OLD HUNTER HOUSE

East Main Street in historic Pendleton South Carolina

Miss Ruth told me that the house caught on fire on a Saturday afternoon. Sally Hunter had gone to take a bath with the oil stove on to warm the bathroom. It set the curtains on fire. A water brigade was formed to run from the well on the square to the house.
The house had a kitchen connected in the back. It was bricked after the fire.

Punch Hunter was the one who had the camera with the film left in it. This is him as a young man along with Ralph Hunter and Tom Watkins.

1906 RED SHIRT MILITIA REUNION

Pendleton SC

Evidently, there was a big parade and reunion in Pendleton in 1906 of the Red Shirt Militia. It looks like from the picture that it may have been from all over this area. The Red Shirt Militias were organized in the south after the Civil War.
If you want to learn more about who they were please see this link below.

Red Shirt Militia

It was part of our history, like it or not.

CONGRESSMAN AIKEN

Unveiling the cannon

This was also at the Red Shirt Reunion in 1906. Congressman Aiken gave a talk before the cannon was unveiled.
Clemson students from years ago probably remember the Pendleton Cannon getting stolen from time to time as a prank and always returned. This happened so much that the cannon had to be permanently placed in front of the Farmers Hall.

QUEEN STREET

This is very interesting

Queen Street in Pendleton sure doesn't look like this today. According to Miss Ruth, the first building on the left is South Carolina Dispensary which was a liquor store controlled by the state. She also said that next to the dispensary was Mr. Jim Hunter's Law Office.

AIKEN GUARDS

RED SHIRT REUNION IN PENDLETON

There is lots of detail to see in the photograph. The most obvious being the "Brownie camera" that the little girl is holding. I am just guessing that that's what it is. Look at the cannon and the inscription "Peace". I had never noticed that before. I knew that it was called the "Peace Cannon" Looks like the men all grew beards for the occassion.

Note from Donna Roper, former Curator for the Pendleton District Commission:
On the Red Shirts Reunion picture of the Aiken guards, the gun carriage carrying the cannon actually reads Peace Maker -- this same gun carriage is in the Agricultural museum.

Thank you, Donna!

BROAD STREET

This is the parade going down Broad Street beside the old Hunter House. Look at the back of the house. That is the kitchen that was built on.

Miss Ruth tried to identify the ones in this picture but she wasn't real sure. She said that Bessie Watkins was one of them and also mentioned the McPhail girls, Sloan, or Campbell. I would sure like to have one of those fans.

OLD FORD MOTOR COMPANY

Main Street in Pendleton

This building was formerly Pendleton Antique Company. Richard and Shelby Quattlebaum sold the building in recent years to Scott Ward. The picture below shows the building when it was the Ford Motor Company.

In a paper entitled "Pendleton History As Told Me and From Memory" written by Emma A. Sitton in 1961, she describes what I think is that same building as being Carriage Shop. Someone might have more information on this and I would appreciate your sharing it. She states the following in her paper:

"From the square on the right side John B. Sitton had a Carriage Shop where carriages, buggies, wagons and harness were made. The shop was a long brick building, two stories, two rooms on the ground floor, two rooms on the second floor. The front room on the ground floor was a show room, the back room was a wood shop. John Dillard was master carpenter. The front room on the second floor was the paint shop, the back room a harness shop where Warren Dillard made all the leather fittings for the carriages as well as harness. The paint room had large doors on the north side and there was a long platform on that side where the finished vehicles were dried. This platform had a ramp with steps in the middle to allow vehicles to be brought down to the show room. The painter, Tilman Jones, was once a slave. On the south side of the shop was a lumber shed."

On August 3, 2010 the great granddaughter of Mr. J. V. Bostic who ran the Ford Motor Co will open a new business in Pendleton, C2 Consignments and she will be the 3rd generation to own a business in Pendleton. Carolyn Morton Mohr will open this new shop with her friend, Carolyn Williams. An article about the connection was recently published in the Anderson Independent Mail and can be found at http://www.independentmail.com/news/2010/jul/22/third-generation-pendleton-business-owner-open-new

The second photo was shared by Carolyn Mohr, owner of C2 Consignments, and daughter of Ben Morton. Ben had received the photo from Frances Couch, his mother's sister, who lives in Atlanta.

Jerry said that Mt Bethel Church was about where Dr. Cooper's office is now. The next picture was probably taken at the grand opening of Pendleton Supermarket(P&G Food Stores and then Giles Food Store - see note below). The Supermarket was in the building where Crenshaw's is.

Note from Liz Giles Freeze on Oct 16, 2008

Hi Nancy

Elizabeth Giles Freeze here. I was shocked to see my daddy's store in the photos. I had to call Mother back here to see it. The only mistake is that the store was called P & G Food Stores. My dad was in partnership with Jute Price of Seneca. Their first store was on Main Street in Seneca next to the hotel. They decided that daddy would move his family to Pendleton and open up another store. Daddy built the building that now houses Crenshaw's TV & Appliance. Daddy and Horace Crenshaw were good friends.

When Jute Price and daddy split their partnership, the store name became Giles Food Store. Somewhere I have a pad where the person who answered the phone took an order with that letter head. They shopped for you, put the bags in daddy's delivery truck and took it to the customer. Don't we wish we could do that now?!

Thanks for giving me a heads up on this. I also saw you & me in the school picture. WOW. Mrs. O'Dell's class.

Liz

Mr. Harold Martin shared this photo with me. This is his first grade class at Pendleton Elementary School. He said that all the grades went to the old High School. The elementary school (now town hall) was not built then. He said that Mr. Ouzts was the principal for all grades. Mr. Ouzts was the Superintendent when I was in school so he was around for a long time. Others that you might recognize in the picture are Calvin Barnette, Virginia Riggins, Bonnie Medlock, Betty Linderman, and Susan Leigh. Do you know any others? Please let us know.

Above - Pendleton Lions Club looking at the plans for Lake Hartwell. The tall good looking one is my dad, Mel Tate. I remember daddy saying that he was very concerned about Lake Hartwell because they were just topping the trees and that the wells from the old farm houses could cause problems.

Below - Mike Darby shared this photo. He said that the picture was given to him by the Design South engineering firm, during
the time that the old Portman generator was being put on display in downtown Anderson.
it's a view of the Highway 24 bridge over the Seneca River before Hartwell lake was filled. The picture
was taken as equipment was being removed from the old Portman Shoals power plant. One of the generators being removed is now on display in Downtown Anderson. Mike also said "For what it's worth, that's one tall bridge - I think the water is about 120
feet deep there. Most folks will assume that the pilings only go a few feet below the surface."

THE DOG HOUSE

Pendleton's Old Gymnasium

The Dog House was built in 1949 and cost a little over $50,000 which came from a bond issue. In an old newspaper clipping, "Red" Canup wrote that on December 7 Pendleton High School's bond-built gymnasium was opened Tuesday night with 600 people in attendance at a basketball doubleheader inaugural. He went on to say that Mr. Outz wanted to make sure that there was a full house so he dispatched school buses to bring in the boys and girls. Coach Bob Scott gave me copies of old newspaper clippings when we were planning the "Save The Dog House" Campaign in 1992.

Calvin and Melvin Barnette

Melvin showed me this picture the other day and I asked him if I could add it to this lens. He agreed. Melvin thinks that this picture was made around 1937 with his grandparents (Summer and Fannie Hicks). They lived in the Denver Community. Thank you, Melvin for sharing this wonderful picture. I know that Calvin and Melvin have a lot of kinfolks in Pendleton and I am sure they will especially enjoy seeing this.

Tanglewood Sloan

Tanglewood Sloan was the lovely home at the site where the new library is now. The columns are still standing. Jerry Sloan had sent me this photo a couple of years ago. I always enjoyed looking at the house and remember it well from my childhood. There was wisteria growing all around it and it would look so enchanting when in bloom. I remember my mother crying when it burned and I don't think I had ever seen my mother cry before that.
Thank you Jerry for sharing this old photo.

My friend, BJC, had this to say about when Tanglewood Sloan burned:

I remember when Tanglewood burned. We lived across the street in the Presbyterian manse, and had not been there long. We had no curtains in the bedroom, just shades. My husband jumped out of bed shouting "Wake up. wake up...we've got to get the girls out of here...our house is on fire!!!" Turns out, it was not our home, but Tanglewood, across the street that was on fire, and the flames were crackling so loud that it sounded like it was our house. We all got up and shivered thankfully and tearfully for that grand old lady. The firemen were pouring water across the street onto the Pure Oil station to keep it from catching on fire. We had known some Clemson architecture students who had lived there earlier. Most folks were suspicious of them, thought they were "hippies" but we enjoyed them and had a couple of meals with them and tours of the house. When they left they donated their furniture to our church sale.

Alison Hancock Padgett said that her parents owned Tanglewood Sloan when it burned and that they donated the land to the town for the library. The town later sold the land to someone else who later donated it for the library. Alison's mother, Margaret, says that they did not rent to the students who were living there at the time of the fire. She said that they were "squatters".

Clemson Cadets March in Front of The Chiquola Hotel

Sometime between 1915 -1918

Charles Williams of the Garrison Arena was kind enough to share this picture with us along with the following story. Thank you Charles.

The original photograph belongs
to my cousin, Bob Webb, from Houston, Texas. In the front row, his
father is on trombone in the band formed by Clemson cadets as they march
down Main Street in Anderson. His father, Robert Webb, was a student at
Clemson between 1915-1918 (I think these are the exact years) and was
the recipient of the Norris Medal, awarded to the most outstanding
senior based on their accomplishments and achievements at Clemson. He
went on to work for USDA after receiving his PhD, and became known as
the "father of cotton quality" in recognition of his accomplishments in
the textile industry.
The photo shows the Chiquola Hotel in the background and the row of
buildings to the left were known as "brick range", now the site of the
Anderson courthouse. At the time of the photo, the Webb family owned
most of that block. Charles Williams

Charles Williams Comes Through Again With A Great Photo

Thank you Charles

Charles said:
"This is another photo showing Clemson cadets and band marching down main
street in Anderson. Points of interest include the old courthouse to the
right and the Confederate monument on the left. Looking over the top of
the Confederate monument is an arched sign which said...Welcome to
Anderson..The Electric City.. or some variation of such. The location of
the sign remains a mystery as it was taken down during some remodeling.
Enjoy!
Charles"

Cherry Summers Garrison Shares Boscobel History and Pictures

I am eventually going to make a lens just about Boscobel but thought you might enjoy a sneak preview. Cherry Garrison's father and uncle built the famous Boscobel Lake and she shares the history and some photos here. I will be adding more of her photos as time goes on. Ken Hancock's father purchased the property and continued to run the golf course and lake until he sold it to the Herberts. This spring I plan to meet with Cherry, Ken and also Harvey Brock and video interviews with them. Harvey has been with the Boscobel Golf Course through all the owners. I am excited and think it will be very interesting.

Do You Remember The May Day Programs?

My sister did a lens about the Maypole Dance and was looking for a picture. I remembered that I had saved some old photos from being thrown away at Pendleton Elementary School and took them to the Pendleton District Commission. These were old photos that hung outside of Mrs. O'dell's Office in the 50's. They were all framed in the same wooden frames that had been painted with that Institution green paint. I called Betsy at PDC and asked her if she remembered seeing them. This is the picture that she sent and it just happened to be my sister's class dancing the Maypole.

Pendleton's Bicentinial Celebration 1990 The Quattlebaums 

Bicentenial Poem 1990

by Shirley Chappell and Nancy Hellams

During the year of the Bicentenial (1990), Shirley Chappell and I sold these framed pictures. Shirley dried the dogwood blossoms that came from the Village Green and I wrote the poem. Of course, Shirley of The Framery did the beautiful framing with different colored mattings. The poem reads like this:

The Village Green

It's Springtime. The dogwoods are in full bloom.
There is a mystical peace in the air filled with treasured memories of days gone by.
Many have sat in awe of the beauty of this place.
Listen and you can hear them:
The chanting of the Cherokee,
The decisions of the politicians,
The dreams of the early settlers,
The laughter of children playing,
The soldiers marching.
Feel their presence.
So many have walked these grounds and I am proud to be one of them.
Happy 200th Birthday Pendleton, South Carolina!

    I remember Boscobel Lake and Cherry Summers. She and I played together around 1944 or '45 in and out of the Summers home and the lake. My family lived across the road from thier home in a small house. We would ride our bikes down to the lake and spent time in the bath house where music played from a juke box I suppoe. My favorite tune was TD Boogie by Tommy Dorsey. One day I rode my bike down the hill toward the lake and forgot to put on my brake. I ended in the lake bike and all. My Dad was the Baptist preacher a that tmeat La France Baptist Church. When we move to La France into the new parsonage, I didn't see Cherry again but I have always remembered the good times we had together. On a trip to Boscobel sever years ago, I noticed the Summers House was gone. I did not know until today the house had burned. I remember eating in the kitchen of the house and the thing I remember most clearly was corn bread sticks made in a special pan with shapes of corn on the cob. So good!!! I will be looking forward to more pictures of the days gone by of dear old Boscobel Lake. Enjoyed each one of the photos of Pendleton too. Thanks, Shelby Jean Walker

    I went to Clemson for my BS in Civil Engineering. I love Pendleton. I love all of those small towns around there. I miss Lake Hartwell and Lake Keowee. Great lens! It's kinda cool seeing pictures from years ago...

    You are giving Pendleton a wonderful gift, not just by displaying these photos but also by gathering first-hand memories to go with them. Well-done!

    Does anyone know anything about or have photos of the Pendleton Cafe (in the 1950's), and the building that occupied this storefront that was once known as Clemson Supply Company.

    Sherry, I am trying to find out the answer to your question and will post when I do. I sure remember the Miles and Crenshaw's Cafe and had many a meal there. I don't remember the Clemson Supply Co., though.

    Sherry, I contacted the Pendleton District Commission with your questions and this is the answer that Betsy Johnson, curator, gave:

    I have never heard of a Clemson Supply Company, and we don't appear to have a record of it. This doesn't mean that it didn't exist, however. Miles and Crenshaw was begun in 1948 and they moved to the location we know of in 1950 (it looks like before that they operated a little restaurant out of their service station?), and operated the restaurant into the 1980s. We don 't seem to have any photos (people always seem to orient photos of the Green towards Exchange Street), but I'll keep my eyes open.

    The only other bit of information I could find was a 1957 Pendleton phone book. There are several cafes listed in the business section, including (Jim) Armstrong Cafe, Gay Haven Cafe, Hopkin's Cafe, Miles and Crenshaw Cafe and William's Drive-In Cafe.

    Hope that helps some. If you get information from anyone else in town, I'd love to add it to our files.

    Betsy

    Betsy,
    I had this comment on my Old Photos lens and have emailed Lamar Allen but haven't heard back from him. I am assuming that the commenter is talking about Miles and Crenshaw's but I don't remember the Clemson Supply Co.
    Here is her comment:

    Let me know if you have any info or photos that I can share with her.
    Thanks

    I have enjoyed your old photos-I don't have a photo,but was told that my gg granfather went to medical school in Pendleton probably around 1840-as he was born abt 1820-went there last year but could find no one that remembered a boys school -his name was E.R. Burt-maybe you have some info on that school--thanks

    The only Medical School that I know was back then is in Charleston. I have never heard of one in Pendleton but will sure check into it.

    Trisha, I asked Betsy at the Pendleton District Commission about your question and here is her answer:
    Hi Nancy,

    I have never heard of a medical school in Pendleton. I doubt they would have had one at the military school...even as casual as medical schools were in the past. I guess this person was talking about Erasmus Burt? The Burts lived in Pendleton at Oaklawn. Erasmus' brother Francis Jr. was the first governor of Nebraska and is buried at St. Paul's. My best guess on this question is that he attended Pendleton Military Academy, the boys school that people like W.H.D. Gaillard went to. But I have never see any reference to a medical school.

    Hope that helps a little!

    Betsy

    Found your photos while trying to locate a photo of the church in Pendleton where my in-laws were married in 1945. My mother-in-law mentioned the daffodils being in bloom. Their 65th wedding anniversary is February 25. You might recognize my father-in-law's name--Miles Hunter Watkins--yes, as in the Hunter store--same family. He brings Pendleton treasures every few years to a museum in Pendleton. He must have pictures that you would like copies of. He has a brother named Thomas Watkins (could the Tom Watkins picture be related?). His sister is Pauline Watkins. He also mentions the Boggs family. I am married to Miles Hunter Watkins Jr. and the mother of Miles Hunter Watkins III (Trey). Wish I had paid closer attention when we visited Pendleton and Clemson several years ago. Thanks for a trip down memory lane.
