National Register Properties in South Carolina Liberty Warehouse, Marion County (Park St., Mullins) |
Facade | Right Oblique |
Built ca. 1923 for W.H. Daniel, Jr., son of W.H. “Buck” Daniel, the Liberty Warehouse is significant as a basically intact traditional tobacco warehouse and for its association with the Daniel family, the most prominent family associated with tobacco in Mullins. Warehouses were associated with the marketing of tobacco. The farmer brought his tobacco to the warehouse where it was auctioned to buyers from the major tobacco companies. In return for a percentage of the farmer’s profit, the owner of the warehouse certified the weight of the tobacco, provided the auctioneer, distributed the payment checks to the farmers, and delivered the tobacco to the buyers. The one-and-one-half story, brick (common bond) warehouse features stepped parapets on the façade and rear elevation. The double gable roof is covered with metal. The original roof of the left section of the building, which collapsed in 1973, has been replaced. Windows on the façade are six-over-six. The façade also has two wood panel doors and two drive through doors. Six arched loading bays are located on the left and right elevations. Listed in the National Register August 3, 1984.
