It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.[1] The application was compiled and submitted by Chris Knopf, a Clemson University Graduate Student, and Walter Scharer, then Planning Director for Seneca, South Carolina. Knopf is now County Manager for Surry County, North Carolina, and Scharer is Planning Director for Shelby, North Carolina.
