Caption: John C. Calhoun Hotel
402 North Main Street
Additional Description: The eight story building is constructed of reinforced concrete and hollow tile with brick veneer. Completed in 1925 by the Anderson Community Corp, it was designed by architects James L. Baldwin and Joseph H. Casey and built by Fiske-Carter Construction, one of South Carolina's largest in the 1920's. The lobby retains coffered ceilings, plaster ornamentations, tile floor, marble and mahogany baseboards and wainscoting. An oil portrait of John C. Calhoun, one of four in existence, hangs above the Sharpe St. entrance. An active hotel through the 1960's and film site of actor-director George Clooney's Leathernecks movie, the building is newly renovated as the Calhoun Historic Lofts, privately-owned condominiums.
