They will be tearing down the two story frame dwelling currently on the property. The Dixie Home Stores operate out of Greenville and they previously had a store in Rock Hill but have not been here for some years.” ** The frame house was most likely that of the old Methodist Manse…. the Herald also stated on Nov. 26, 1941 – “The Dixie Home store supermarket will open tomorrow.

Dr. Louis Friedheim was a prominent doctor living here and practicing his animal clinic out of his father’s Friedheim Hall stables on East White Street. The house appears to have been constructed at the rear of the Caldwell’s original corner lot and may have been one of their investment properties. (The Herald had reported on June 25, 1902 – “Dr. Louis Friedheim left Friday for Paducah Kent., with the intent of locating for the practice of his profession. Louis is a excellent veterinary surgeon and we wish him success.)

Louise understands his business as a veterinary surgeon and will no doubt make a success in his new home.”

Gregg, will move to Rock Hill and lease one of the garages. Since the City is contemplating the widening of Caldwell St., the building will be moved back. The owners also own the corner lot on Caldwell and White with about 100 ft frontage on each.” (This was in the vicinity of this lot but further toward East White Street.)
