Fountain Fox Beattie House (Greenville Woman’s Club) The Fountain Fox Beattie House, built by Fountain Fox Beattie ca. 1834, is significant for its architecture. This large Italianate dwelling was originally a much smaller, rather plain residence. It was the center of social, cultural, and religious life of early Greenville. The house was occupied by Beattie descendents until 1940. Now used as the Greenville Woman’s Club, it is the third oldest structure remaining in Greenville. A specific date for the home’s appearance is uncertain, although the style is that of the Italianate or Tuscan villa mode popularized by Alexander Jackson Davis prior to the Civil War. Davis’s designs were widely published and perhaps provided the inspiration for the Italianate detail on the structure. The two-storied central portion of the house has one-story flanking wings to either side. The one-story central piazza is supported by six pairs of square columns with one pilaster at each return. The freestanding columns are arranged to form three major and two minor semi-circular arches across the front with a major arch to either outer end. The balustraded piazza has a denticulated cornice with modillions and paired consoles corresponding to the columns below. Listed in the National Register October 9, 1974.
Fountain Inn High School Fountain Inn High School, constructed in 1939, is significant as an excellent example of New Deal-era Moderne design undertaken by the Public Works Administration (PWA) program of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal, and as one of the notable designs of the Greenville, South Carolina firm of Beacham and LeGrand. The two-story and basement asymmetrical L-shaped building consists of an original auditorium as well as an original two-story classroom wing. The exterior walls are brick on concrete footings bearing the load. A monumental portico of large monolithic concrete pilasters and a simplified cornice highlights the off center entrance. Each main vertical break in the brick exterior wall is projected from the plain accented with concrete markers. The 800-seat auditorium features tall windows, period style lighting, and patterned panels. In 1960 the school complex was expanded to include two additional buildings that housed classrooms and a new cafeteria. Fountain Inn High School became Fountain Inn Elementary School when a new high school was built in 1957, and served as such until a new school was built in 1997. Listed in the National Register June 3, 2009.
