Abstract:
The former home of the O'Hagan and Laughinghouse families on Pitt Street was lost in a fire on January 6, 1996. The history of the house began as a small building built in the 1850’s by Dr. Charles J. O’Hagan (1821-1900) who immigrated from Ireland in 1842. O’Hagan was a teacher in Greenville until 1846 when he went to Medical School in New York. He began practicing medicine in Greenville in 1852 and gained a State-wide reputation. The house fell to his daughter, Eliza O’Hagan, who married Joseph John Laughinghouse, a prominent farmer and politician from Grimesland. They remodeled the house into a 17 room Queen Anne Style mansion. In 1965, the Flynn Christian Fellowship Homes, Inc. bought the house to help homeless men and alcoholics. It was dedicated in February 1966.

Abstract:
Located on the southwest corner of Third and Evans streets, the Rialto Block was built in 1896 by Joseph P. Elliot & Brother of Baltimore, MD. The block contained numerous stores which burned in 1897 and was rebuilt. The corner building of the Rialto was home to The Daily Reflector from 1901 until 1956. It later became Biggs Drug Store, then Hargett’s Drug Store, and after a number of businesses, reopened as Courtside Café.
In 1896, Joseph P. Elliot and his brother built the Rialto, located on the southwest corner of Third and Evans Streets, to provide a brick block for all the Elliot brothers' many stores. One section housed The Daily Reflector offices from January 1901 until 1956. The Daily Reflector's move in 1957 reduced the building to one-story and it is now a cafe.
