William Apollos James House
William Apollos James House is a historic home located at Bishopville, Lee County, South Carolina. It was built in 1903, as a one-story, Folk Victorian cottage with a center gabled dormer. It was enlarged and altered in 1911, in the Colonial Revival style, with the addition of a second story with hipped roof, and a hip-roofed wraparound porch. It was the home of William Apollos James (1857–1930), prominent state representative, agriculturalist, businessman, and community leader of Lee County. Also on the property is a collection of historic and interesting flora in its ornamental and fruit garden, along with mature trees and shrubs. The house serves as the headquarters for the Lee County Historical Society.[2][3]
