The Beattie House, built in the 1830s by Fountain Fox Beattie as a present to his wife, Emily Hamlin of Charleston, is currently the location of the Greenville Woman's Club. The two-story Italianate house is one of the oldest structures in the city. It displays beautiful woodwork, a winding stairway, and tall Renaissance columns. In 1949, in danger of being razed, a group of women arranged to have the house moved to 1 Beattie Place. Finally, in 1983, the house was moved once more to its current location near Park Avenue.
