Located on 101 Alice Avenue, the Alston/Honour house is traditionally thought to have once been the summer home of South Carolina governor Joseph Alston and wife Theodosia Burr Alston, daughter of Aaron Burr. About 1810, the Alstons bought 238 acres in Greenville County on which they built a home. Theodosia had the priviledge of living in the house for only a short while, having been lost at sea after she sailed from Charleston on December 30, 1812. Shortly after her death, Joseph Alston died without an heir and the property reverted to his siblings. Before 1850, the house burned to the ground and in the Spring of 1854 the William Alston family built another home on this same site, the home that is currently on the property. This home was occupied by various members of the Alston family until after the Civil War when it was sold to Theodore and Rebecca Honour, whose residence it remained for some 40 years.
