The John H. Goodwin House, also known as the Blythe-Goodwin-Hagood House is a historic structure located on South Carolina Highway 11 in Greenville County near Travelers Rest, South Carolina. The two-story farmhouse and the one-story store building located in front of the house are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[2]
The house was built in stages, with the earliest log building portion constructed ca1790 by Robert Cooke. A two-story addition was completed ca1840 which included an entrance hallway. A detached kitchen with a stone chimney was built behind the house at the same time. Additional later alterations created a new room on the northeast side the house by enclosing a porch and connection the kitchen to the main house.[3]
From ca1840 to 1899, the house served as a midway stage stop for travelers on the road between Greenville and Asheville, North Carolina.[4]
