About this home
Historic properties of this pedigree rarely come to market. The circa 1832 Meng House is listed on both the State and the National Register of Historic Places and has been featured in books on southern architecture and history. This exceptional residence features bright spacious rooms with high ceilings. Each floor boasts a wide center hall and four large rooms. A sweeping staircase winds up to the attic. The electrical and plumbing systems have had extensive updating. A new architectural roof with copper valleys and drip edges was installed in 2024.Built of heavy timber frame construction with mortise and tenon joinery, the structure has proudly stood for almost two centuries. Plaster walls and ceilings with ornate medallions grace the interior. Original heart pine floors have been preserved. The hand carved mantels, millwork, doors, and windows were brought from Charleston by horse drawn wagon. The handsomely proportioned Greek Revival exterior features a large pedimented portico detailed with triglyphs, metopes, and guttae on two facades. The eight monumental columns are constructed of plaster over brick. The house is located on a 1.2 acre lot a short stroll from the shops on main street and the USC Union campus. Spartanburg is conveniently located just 30 minutes away. Zoning is also favorable for commercial uses. Make life extraordinary and become the next steward of this remarkable piece of South Carolina history.
