The JJ Dorn House is a historic home located in McCormick, South Carolina. Built in 1897 by Joseph James Dorn, the house is an excellent example of Victorian architecture. The home features a wrap-around porch, a turret, and intricate woodwork, which showcases the skilled craftsmanship of the era.

The house has gone through several owners over the years and was even used as a school during World War II. In the late 20th century, the house fell into disrepair and was in danger of being demolished. However, a group of concerned citizens formed the JJ Dorn Restoration Society and began the process of restoring the home to its former glory.

Today, the JJ Dorn House is open for tours and serves as a community center for events and gatherings. Visitors can enjoy the beautiful Victorian architecture and learn about the history of the house and its former owners. The house is also listed on the National Register of Historic Places, recognizing its importance and significance to the local community.

Overall, the JJ Dorn House is a remarkable example of Victorian architecture and a testament to the dedication of the community to preserve its history and heritage.

See 7 States from Rock City (rest faded) (RCB120) Abbevulle Co., SC On of two barns that are known to exist in South Carolina. Both are very faded, but this one is an easy spot if you happen to be passing through. The road alignment doesn't appear changed, or is close enough to the original where this one is still an eye catcher. From what I can tell and what I've read, Clark Beyers and crew painted these things as quick as possible, and one of the ways they did this was paint both the white lettering and black background simultaneously, instead of lettering over the background. All that to say that I think we have a ton of barns that are visible ONLY because they've faded at different rates. If they had been painted white paint over black, I wonder how many of these would be invisible. One homeowner (not this barn) confirmed that her barn hadn't been painted in the 50 years she owned it. So many of the barns close to Chattanooga have been painted in recent-ish times, so they look more painted than these more far flung barns.
