An early settler to Kings Mountain, William Andrew Mauney built a store on this site circa 1870. When he moved his business to a location in downtown Kings Mountain, he turned the store ninety degrees and added a two story structure to the front to make his home. It is the oldest unaltered home in Kings Mountain and was restored in 1999-2000 by the Kings Mountain Historic Homes Preservation, Inc. under the direction of Mary S. Neisler.
