Lanneau-Norwood House Is a Show-Stopping Victorian in South Carolina

by

Known as the Lanneau-Norwood House, the distinctive dwelling in the northern section of the state was built in 1877 and has recently undergone a major overhaul.

“It’s unusual in the upstate to have a house of this character still standing,” says the listing agent, Sharon Wilson. “There have only been three families who have lived in it.”

As for the current owners, they purchased the five-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom home in the early 2000s. They’ve made quite a few changes, but absolutely nothing that detracts from the home’s original beauty.

“It has been updated, but the actual footprint of the house has never changed,” Wilson explains.

Many of those updates involved the old home’s infrastructure. Updates not readily apparent in the listing photos include plumbing and mechanicals.

Interior spaces—including the kitchen—were given a new look that hews to the home’s original vibe. Mantels, molding, some lighting, and marble are original, but have been refreshed and restored.

Wilson says the exterior paint color is a tribute to the colors that were popular when the home was built.

“[The owners] researched to see what would have been appropriate in the era of when it was built, and there were about six colors to choose from. So they chose this one, to try to bring it back as much as possible.”

The classic turret is accessible via a narrow staircase and offers a vantage point without parallel.

“The views are incredible. You can see downtown Greenville, since you’re up over everything. It’s the highest point in the neighborhood,” Wilson explains.

In the 1870s, a builder, Jacob W. Cagle, finished the house for Charles Henry Lanneau, II, the owner of one of the first textile mills in the area.

Lanneau was bankrupt in 1907 and sold the house to John Wilkins Norwood. After Norwood died in 1945, the house was passed down through several generations of his family.

Described as a “French Second Empire Victorian” in the listing, the home was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.

“It’s such a special house,” Wilson says. “Very seldom do you get something that is this type of house, an old Victorian- style type of house. You walk in, and you almost feel like you’re back in Charleston, it’s that kind of feel.”
