 This old post
office building was built in the early 1940s. It
needed to be moved a couple of hundred yards while
preserving it's structural integrity.
|
 The old post
office was later used as a doctor's office.
It has been moved with "surgical" precision to
it's new location.
|
| A brief
testimonial from the owner of the old post office
building concerning the move and history of the
structure: Billy - What a
pleasure it was to have AABC move the old office building
that is on my property here in Horatio, S.C. I was
totally impressed with the job you and your crew did in
moving the old building a couple hundred yards with out
having any mishaps either with the building or it's
contents. I was amazed to say the least not only with a
job well done but the professionalism displayed by each
of you! I will recommend AABC to anyone that I know
without reservation.
The history on
the building I have patched together through
conversations with several of my elderly neighbors is as
follows:
The
date the building was actually built is unknown
but best estimates are early 1940. The building was
originally the Post Office in Horatio as
evidenced by the bars on the windows and was built by
my grandfather W.M. LeNoir who was the
postmaster in Horatio. After the Post Office was
incorporated into LeNoirs store the building was possibly
used as a doctors office for a Dr. Schriber from
the Charlotte-Thompson community who came to Horatio two
to three times a week to see patients. Sometime around
1970 the building was to be torn down and instead my
father moved it to our property and a caretaker moved
into it. The house has been vacant since around
1986.
