One of the most unique homes in the Historical District of Georgetown has only been a residence for a mere 100 years. Probably built in the mid 1800s due to pegged and hand hewn beams found in the attic. In fact a scuttle is in the ceiling so anyone interested can easily see. The location is directly behind the Winyah Indigo Society Hall. The society itself was formed as a Convivial Club in 1740 and received its Royal Charter in 1758. One of the many acts of charity was the establishment of a free school. 121 Cannon St. was built behind the Society Hall as the one room (24x24) school annex to the original school. Approximately 1900, a center hall and the second room were added across the front. The front door was moved to the center hall which is the entrance today, but the initial door still exists. The rooms were heated by pot-bellied stoves and 2 small structures in the backyard were marked Girls and Boys (no longer exist). The school annex was purchased and became a home around 1915
