Weekend Home Tour Highlights Holmes Family Estate
Johnston residents can tour the Mary and Charles Holmes house on the Columbia Highway Sunday from 2 to 6 pm to support the Mizpah Bible Class building fund. Tickets cost 2 50 for adults and 1 for children. The house, built in 1826 and linked to Henry Conrad Herlong and possibly Robert Mills, features Greek Doric columns and brick walls, with extensive restorations using locally made brick by enslaved workers.
