Historic Galivants Ferry

George J. Holliday House, c. 1900

George Judson Holliday, founder of the Pee Dee Farms Corporation, built this house. Sons Joseph and John Monroe were born here, in addition to five sisters and two older brothers. A vernacular style house, this is one of the more sophisticated early houses in the district. It is a one and half story T-shaped house, with two interior chimneys, a central entry hall, with side lights and fan light, a front porch with hipped shed roof and square post columns. The main house had a high pitched gable roof and the rear portion has a service porch. The porch faces the original road that wound from the river through Galivants Ferry eastward.
