Start And Stop Renovation Surrounds Willcox Hotel
The Willcox Hotel in Aiken, once a social hub hosting figures like Mrs John Barrymore and the Duke and Duchess of Manchester, faces long delays in renovation after 1957 auctioning and subsequent condemnations. Plans shifted from a restaurant and law offices to veterans housing, with limited activity for years under contractor R A Heider, while zoning and funds constrained progress.
