An example of the Classical Revival style of architecture, Stewart House
was built in 1895 by Captain W.H. Stewart of Rock Hill. Stewart moved into
the new home soon after he donated his prior residence, now the
President's House, as part of the city's bid to move Winthrop to Rock
Hill. The university purchased the home from Stewart in 1912 for $10,000.
Known in those days as the Home Management House, the structure was used
by seniors to practice the details of housekeeping, including purchasing,
cooking, serving, cleaning, accounting and caring for the home. The
building has been home to the Alumni Association, the International
Center, and Winthrop's Admissions Office and Visitors Center. Winthrop
currently leases the facility to the
S.C. Center
for Educator Recruitment, Retention and Advancement.
