Joye Cottage in Aiken Sees Grand Renovation and Festival Ties
The Joye Cottage in Aiken, once a modest South Carolina cottage, became a grand 20 000 square foot 60 room estate after a major renovation begun in 1989 by Steve Naifeh and Gregory White Smith. They invested 650 000 more and chronicled the three year restoration in a memoir to accompany the Joye in Aiken music festival linked to The Juilliard School. The property, tied to William C Whitney and the town’s winter colony, is described as a mixed architecture “mongrel” with extensive materials from shingles to clapboard and a sprawling center block.
