The overhead view is impressive inside Winnie Davis Hall at Limestone University in Gaffney, South Carolina. Standing in the center of the lower floor and looking up toward the skylight, one can see several other levels of the beautiful, storied structure. Built in 1904, the historic, redbrick, college building was designed by Darlington native William Augustus Edwards, who designed academic buildings at 12 institutions of higher learning as well as 13 courthouses and numerous other buildings in Florida, Georgia and South Carolina. The building has since been remodeled and restored. It was named for Varina "Winnie" Anne Davis, the daughter of Jefferson Davis, and was built to serve as a repository for American Civil War papers as a center for the study of Southern history. On April 29, 1977, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. It is part of the Limestone Springs Historic District and is also known as the Winnie Davis Hall of History.
