Willcox’s, located in Aiken, South Carolina, USA, was an internationally known inn during the Aiken Winter Colony heyday.^[2][3] Operated from 1898 to 1957 by members of the Willcox family, the still-magnificent building reflects the influence of both Second Empire and Colonial Revival styles of architecture. The plan of the building is irregular in shape, consisting of a central block with asymmetrical wings. It is worth noting that of Aiken’s once famous resort hostelries, only Willcox’s is still standing. The landmark property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places March 19, 1982.^[1]
