City Directories and History: 1908 – John Reed, 1940 – George A. Hennies, M.D., 1958 – George A. Hennies, 1978 – Southern Bank and Trust
This wonderful corner home was the residence of Dr. George A. Hennies of Chester, and later known as
the George R. Dawson house. The Dawson family, one of Chester’s very prominent and prosperous, owned the Dawson Supply Company (Chester Hardware Company), and contributed significantly to the successes of Chester, S.C. The house was unfortunately razed in circa 1971, in the name of progress, to make room for a new bank branch building. Wyatt Insurance Company now occupies this location.
