The Anderson Historic District has added information on the city’s heritage and this building. Known as the Broyles – Acker House, ca. 1830s, by Samuel Girard Earle. Remodeled heavily in 1904 when it became the home of H. H. Acker.
This house was built c.1835 by Samuel Girard Earle and given the same name as his plantation in Savannah Township in Anderson County, “Evergreen.” About 1850 the house became the property of attorney A.T. Broyles. In 1904 it became the home of the H.H. Acker family, and was remodeled in the Classic Revival manner. The handsome doorway and dining room cornices date to the Broyles’ occupancy. – S.C.
