1229 Calhoun Street – Samuel P. Boozer / Garlington Home

 City Directories and History:  Reported to have been constructed just prior to the Civil War by Samuel P. Boozer (1834-1900), this magnificent home remains a testament to the quality of artisans working in the ante-bellum era and the money available for building such fine homes in Newberry. The owner was a local merchant and in 1904 the home was sold by his estate to A.C. Jones.
