Nick Prevost House
historic house in South Carolina, United States
The Nick Prevost House was a residence in Anderson, South Carolina. Built in 1877 by Nick Prevost, a local entrepreneur, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984, but was taken off the list in 2005 after it was demolished. The house is described as an early example of Neoclassical Revival architecture. The design was based on a house exhibited at the 1876 Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia. The one-story three bay wood-frame house had simulated wood quoins at the corners and an arcaded porch across the front. The porch featured segmental arches on Doric columns. The roof was flat, with a balustrade matching that on the porch.

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Nick Prevost House” as historic house in South Carolina, United States. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as historic house in South Carolina, United States. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 3, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q16957820. Authority coordinates are 34.501, -82.676. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1877, 1984, 2005 and 1876.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
