Waccamaw River Warehouse Historic District, Conway
Facts and practical information
Waccamaw River Warehouse Historic District is a national historic district located at Conway in Horry County, South Carolina. It includes three contributing buildings: a steamer terminal, warehouse, and tobacco warehouse. These buildings illustrate the evolution of utilitarian structures at the end of the 19th century, documenting the shift from heavy-timber braced-frame structural members to smaller-member, balloon framing with multiple diagonal bracing and the use of a clerestory for additional light. They are the last extant warehouses in Conway associated with the commercial trade on the Waccamaw River. ()
