- In the Fall of 2020, the Anderson County Museum will be bringing you a new exhibit that focuses on the county’s residential architecture. Learn about the regional, national, and international influences in the aesthetic of Anderson County’s homes. In this video, Anderson County Museum curator Dustin Norris discusses the history and significance of Anderson County’s Sally Abney Rose House. Come to the museum to see our miniature model of the house.
Too bad Sally didn't require in her will that any assets of the estate that were sold had to be put to preservation of the home she so obviously loved. I guess she thought that her descendants would take care of her home. Too bad she was wrong.
Maybe that's why she commissioned the build of the miniature version. Ya know, just in case..
Money from items auctioned off should have been put in a fund to maintain the house as a historical site
Excellent video, Mr. Norris. I remember talking to you about this house. I'm still interested in trying to save this house from demolition. As it's such a unique structure, I want to see it survive, rather than be torn down, as the current property owners intend.
Kills me that this house and the grounds are falling to new development. I'm sure I'm not the only person who drove past the place and thought "If I won the lottery, I'd be home right now...."
Me too didn't know it was even back there..Younger generations don't value things like they should
My mom knew her and used to visit years ago.
Very informative but why was it left to such deterioration and now all but destroyed?
omg.I have been living in Anderson for 4yrs and we always go to cracker barrell. But just few days ago , my eyes caught the old gate and got curious! SO I searched and here I am.SO glad to find information about the abandoned house.What a beauty. I wish to see the house if there is a way. Also, I hope it can eb saved or restored.Maybe Anderson should do a fund raising.
I Just Loved this place.
Excellent, I really enjoyed that. Nice soothing southern voice to tell a great story.
I hope they don't destroy these type of homes ,their beautiful and so full of history 😔why would u not want to save it ? somewhat current or not who cares its got history .Thank u for the video
A recent video taken at the home shows vandals have all but destroyed the interior.
@@sammyjo8109 So very sad. Why do people think it's okay to destroy someone else's property?
@@nadinemasteller1089 I can only guess they didn't learn to respect others property. A lot of the devastation has happened since November when a person posted photos taken in Nov. At that time the curtains were still in windows and the stair railing was intact.
@@sammyjo8109 Thank you for your reply. I can only guess that such lowlife people are full of hate and can't stand anything beautiful. Too many of them in our world. Not enough of the ones who create beauty and preserve it.
Why can't this house be saved?? I am a distant relative.
Go for it
It is far more valuable as commercial real estate and subdivision is the harsh reality. It is not historical enough or old enough or financially feasible to restore it. She would have had to have the plans in place before she passed away.
I can't blame the family for cashing in on the prime real estate.
The Abney family should be ashamed of themselves to sell off all the families collectibles and then took off with there 4.5 million split among them. That’s not a lot if you think about it. Very selfish people.
You should be ashamed of yourself for thinking such crap I work for this family for 17 years and her family is the most humble, people shouldn't speak on things they know nothing about.
Just watched an exploration video of this home where it had been completely decimated by scum of the earth and decay. A great loss in architecture.
I saw that too. Ms Sally would be very upset..
@@pamelahsmithsmith2366 Indeed she would be. She would ask what had the world become. :(
We owe Sally’s father a lot for employing many upstate citizens over the years. I met Sally and toured the home!! Priceless! It saddens me to see the house in shambles. It looks like a war zone.
Seems like some Historical Society would check into saving this house for future generations to see, especially if they have a museum..
How fascinating. I just hope that someone will love and restore the actual Sally Rose house. Is that possible?
Many thanks all the way from England.
Just explored the house with a few friends. Garage has lots of old checks and legal papers. Basement entrance inside the house requires you to crouch down to get through.
I'm 32 and even as a kid I was obsessed with Greek-revival architecture. I used to build columed houses out of legos. I drove up the driveway of this house a few years back to get a closer look but there was an SUV parked behind the house and it looked like someone was there doing stuff so I left fairly quickly. I still adore antebellum and antebellum-inspired architecture, but I must admit that as an over-educated millennial I no longer romanticize it like I once did. For all the beauty I now also see the dark clouds of slavery and Jim Crow apartheid hanging about such places. I'd rather homes like this be a museum or a bed & breakfast. Something open to everyone to try to offset the bad vibes.
This was built in 1948 long after slavery...please educate yourself
My great uncles were the care keepers of the greenhouses and I had a tour of the house also . At the time it was very crowded with lots of items from her travels.
Great ! Is the exhibit there now ?
Yes, the Sally Rose House Model is right across from our temporary gallery featuring Building Blocks, about Architectural influences in Anderson County. You can learn more about the temporary exhibit at andersoncountymuseum.org/building-blocks
@@AndersonCountyMuseum What did Sally die of? Heartbreaking to see this home vandalized!
I’m kin to Abney’s in the Carolinas, but I have no idea if I’m kin to this Abney.
who got the auction money? 🤔 but wow that mansion is very beautiful..
So sad of the current state of that once stately home
Can you visit this house?

@@eekemp No longer looks like this. Vandals have dome more damage
@@sammyjo8109 Very sad.
Anyone know what come of her companies? Were they sold off? Anyone know who bought them? Or were they simply put out of business? Are there any surviving family members?
The damage to her home in all buildings on the property is a real crying shame, I have not found out for sure but I had my DNA done and Mrs Rose her name came up, she did come and meet me at Winn-Dixie before it went out of business in Anderson, SC she invited me to her home but because of Elvis a man I suspected being my biological father was friends with John Richard ( Buck) Fulp, Jr. my suffering wanting my father not ever getting to meet him broke my heart so I went to late to visit I met her black maid dressed so beautiful in a black skirt black top with a see through apron and a small see through little hat on her head. Well it’s my fault cause I gave no notice later I saw Ms. Rose at her mail box she was not dressed proper and her walk you knew something was not right her steps ah walking was short stepping and she was driving by herself, no if I had been there she would not have been driving by herself but when people are rich you do not get in their way. I am upset for I am one of Elvis Presley’s daughters here is my mother with Elvis: Hysterical Fan Grabbing Elvis Presley’s Pants Leg/ click on Miami Beach Miami Connection 411 scroll to 6th photo her name was Eular Agnes Robinson Moss yes she is deceased she stayed in Charleston SC hoping my father being in the Navy would come and find her. What people do not understand is the era was so different on people tracing a parent down but my mother saw to it she was pictured with my father. He was in NY in 1955 and this is my birth date 11-15-1955 Sam Phillips quit Elvis and in March 1955 Col. Tom Parker took over it was 1956 when the photo was taken of my mother and Elvis. Elvis did not die in 1977 cause he built that home across from Sally Abney Rose’s home and that was after 1977. It was like 1985 when Jeanette Moore said John Richard Buck Fulp Jr. took her there. So of course I went to see it. Elvis walked away from it, I suspected that possibly the home was John Fulp’s home because he use to be a impersonator for Elvis. See costume make up and wigs many could be Elvis, that’s why there was so many impersonators. Elvis started a secret service in Shelby, N. C. If you have plenty of money and time you to could be a Elvis.
What in the world does that rambling mess have to do with trying to preserve this historic home?
@@menotyou5380 Thank you i was trying to piece together as well. There was no home across from Sally Rose's that i remember. And we moved to the area in 1971. That was the house's HeyDay.
