"Fairview," located on a high bluff overlooking the Broad River in Western Fairfield County, SC.
	"Fairview," by Revolutionary War General John Means, was constructed from 1804-1807. The home was sold to William and Thomas Blair in the 1830s, and remained occupied until the 1940's. The family poses in front of "Fairview" in 1898.
	This 1930s photo reveals the top of a model T at the right hand side of the image.
