This building was built in 1900 for Capt. James V. Welsh (1845-1906) as the office for J.V. Welsh and Sons, a lumber mill, at its original location just south of Kershaw on what is now U.S. Hwy. 521. It later housed Kershaw’s first circulating library, founded by the McDowell Music Club, from its creation in 1934 until a new library was built in 1949. Moved to this site in 2001, it serves as the office for the Stevens Foundation.
