Description
Steeped in southern charm, 1402 fair street in camden, stands as an architectural gem and a testament to decades of compassion and community service. built in 1920, this colonial-style residence graces the streets with its timeless beauty. designed to be both stunning and inviting, the home’s interior features a central hall flanked by spacious rooms, with the kitchen and casual dining area just beyond. a formal living room welcomes guests at the front door, leading to an adjoining ensuite with natural light. a convenient downstairs bedroom with a nearby full bath adds to the home’s functionality. the kitchen blends modern updates with authentic simplicity and character. throughout the home, fireplaces in nearly every room, original hardwood floors, grand moldings, plaster walls, high ceilings and original windows capture its historic charm. upstairs, the second level boasts three large bedrooms with access to a cozy den. the primary suite offers a unique dressing room with built-ins between the bedroom and spacious bathroom. the fifth room, currently serving as a downstairs primary and ensuite, provides flexibility. the home retains its historic essence, a tribute to its former role as a place of refuge and care. in the 1930s, under the leadership of margaret c. mayfield, 1402 fair street became more than just a beautiful residence, it was transformed into a sanctuary for orphaned and disadvantaged children. as president of the associated charities of camden and kershaw county, mayfield spearheaded the creation of the mayfield children's home, later known as the kershaw county children's home. this facility provided shelter, stability, and hope to children in need. the home remained in operation for several decades, profoundly impacting the lives of those it served until its closure in the 1980s. while no longer a children's home, 1402 fair street remains a symbol of kindness and generosity. the walls echo the legacy of margaret c. mayfield and the countless lives she helped shape. today, this historic property stands as a reminder of camden’s rich past, welcoming new owners who will continue to cherish its timeless elegance and meaningful history. disclaimer:
