The Holliday House "Circa 1895"
;void(null))
A rare opportunity to own a true piece of history! Located in the heart of Marion, SC — named for Revolutionary War hero Francis Marion, the famed “Swamp Fox” — the Holliday House is a grand Eastlake Victorian built in 1895.
Commissioned by prominent businessman Jesse Gray Holliday of the esteemed Holliday family of Gallivants Ferry, this residence reflects the family’s prominence in the community, with ties to the Stump Meeting and successful ventures in livery stables, carriages, naval stores, turpentine, and more. Once regarded as “the prettiest place on the railway between Wilmington and Columbia”, this property remains one of the city’s architectural treasures.
Property Features:
Listed on the National Register of Historic Properties, the Holliday House qualifies for preservation incentives and grant opportunities. Whether envisioned as a restored dream residence, a multi-unit rental, an elegant bed-and-breakfast, or a unique Airbnb destination, the possibilities are limitless. Expansive grounds and historic character make it a true showpiece with unlimited potential.
The current owner has already undertaken significant restoration, leaving the perfect opportunity for the next steward to bring this architectural gem back to full glory.
Property sold as-is. Buyer responsible for inspections and repairs. While significant work has already been completed, including the 2023 roof replacement, restoration is ongoing, and several projects remain unfinished. Buyers should be prepared to continue the rehabilitation to suit their vision.
Highlights:
This home is more than real estate—it is a landmark awaiting its next chapter. Own your piece of history today.
