Located at 723 South Lake Dr. in Lexington, the 1855 Henry A. Meetze House, according to the National Register of Historic Places Inventory, was built by Henry Meetze, a Lexington area attorney, businessman and civic leader, who lived from 1820 to 1904. Meetze held seats representing Lexington County in the South Carolina House of Representatives and in the South Carolina Senate at different times.

Located at 303 Hendrix St., the George Tillman Graham House was constructed in 1905, according to newspaper articles at the time. Graham was a prominent attorney who served as probate court judge and mayor (then called intendant) of the Town of Lexington, according to the Lexington County Museum. Graham worked on a case related to the first lynching victim in Lexington County, as well as on a case involving the murder of the founder and editor of the State Newspaper. According to the museum, this house was the first in Lexington to have indoor plumbing.

Located at 808 S. Lake Dr. in Lexington, the C.E. Corley House was built in 1895. According to the National Registry of Historic Places, the yellow Queen Anne-style home was built by Charles Edward Corley, a local builder at the time.

Located at 247 Yachting Rd., the Dantzler Harman House was built in 1890 for Dantzler Harman, a local farmer, according to the museum.

The tour will conclude with a tea reception at the historic Palmetto Collegiate Institute, located at 104 Hendrix St. in Lexington. According to the town’s website, the now-renovated building was a school from 1881 to 1911, then later a private residence. It reopened in 2008 after the town restored it.
