The Herald reported on Feb. 28, 1914 – “that T.E. Whiteside will erect a european hostility on a track he purchased sometime ago from Samuel McFadden and W.W. Coogler at the corner of Gadsden and Valley Streets. Work will begin in early spring. J. S. Starr, architect of Rock Hill, has been employed to draw the plans. It will have two large store rooms on the first floor, one mercantile and the other containing the hotel office and cafe. The building will be brick with plate glass fronts. The upper floor will have guest rooms. Mr. Whiteside has been running a cafe for the last few years.”
