The Benson House
Pendleton, South Carolina
$395,000
A mysterious and enduring jewel nestled in the heart of Historic Downtown Pendleton. Though little has been formally documented about the home itself, its legend has echoed through the streets for generations. Whispers of its past have stirred the curiosity of townsfolk, historians, and preservationists alike. Originally erected on East Queen Street on the very site now known as “Brews on the Square”. The home narrowly escaped demolition thanks to the stewardship of a perhaps unlikely savior: Bank of America, which honored its historical value and preserved it for posterity.
