Joye Cottage Entered National Register of Historic Places
Joye Cottage at the corner of Whiskey Road and Easy Street in Aiken has been accepted into the National Register of Historic Places. Built in the 1800s by William Peronneau Finley and later purchased by W C Whitney in 1897, the 90 plus room estate reflects Georgian Revival design by architect George H Freeman. The Whitney era included stables and squash courts later adapted for residences, with polo fields and a Palmetto Golf Club legacy nearby.
