This house at 2406 Fairview Road near Fountain Inn ( near Fairview Presbyterian Church) was built by Tully C. Bolling (not a member of the Stewart Clan) about 1840. 6 Clark Berry Stewart purchased the large two story brick home with about 500 acres of land and moved here from his small farm some seven miles northeast of Fountain Inn farm to be closer to Fairview, where he was pastor from 1855 to 1883. The house is about three miles from the church. Clark Berry lived here with his wife Katharine Carson Hitch from 1859 to 1890, raising a family of eight children, of whom one died in infancy. The house survives, happily overlooked by Sherman’s Army by only two miles, and has been restored to its original simple elegance after forty years of neglect. It is now known as “Tullyton” and owned by Dr. Jim Richardson. It was recorded in in 1990 on the Register of National Historic Places as Tullyton (Bolling-Stewart House). The detached kitchen-servant quarters with its four beautiful fireplaces remains only a ghostly shell, a mute reminder of a different way of life. Reverend Stewart is buried at Fairview Presbyterian Church. The house was passed to 62 John Wistar Simpson Stewart (married to Margaret Louise Anderson), then to 622 Catherine Rachel Stewart (married to Charles Lindsay Peden), then to 6221 Catherine Charles Peden. The house is no longer in the Stewart Clan.
