Courthouse Steps
4 x 4 quilt block
Landrum City Hall
100 N. Shamrock

Landrum City Hall, built in the early 1970s, houses not only the police department and city government but also facilities for city council meetings and for sessions of the municipal court.

Because this building is representative of the seat of government for the city, the quilt pattern Courthouse Steps was selected.

Jacob’s Ladder is the quilt block installed at the Landrum Fire Station built-in 1992.

Symbolic colors are used in the block: the black ladder for smoke, shades of red for fire and gold for the firemen’s shields.

The city’s 28 volunteer firemen are responsible for the Landrum Fire District which extends far beyond the city limits and includes a section of I-26.

The first station for the Landrum Fire Department, formed in 1949, was built across the road from the current station. The Landrum Fire Department slowly transitioned from primarily volunteer coverage to part-time/volunteer coverage in the early 2000s. The department at this time was governed by the Mayor and City Council of Landrum.

The district now covers the city limits of Landrum, outlying portions of Spartanburg County, and a smaller portion of Greenville County towards Lake Lanier which is governed by the Foothills Fire Service Area. In 2015, the department transitioned into a special purpose fire district through state legislation, with a new governing body represented by the taxpayers of the district. Now known as the Landrum Area Fire & Rescue District, the department is composed of some 28 volunteers, full, and part-time personnel.

The Moon Over the Mountain quilt block is an easily recognized design because of the revival of traditional quilt patterns during the 1970s by Georgia Bonesteel, an internationally-recognized quilter from Flat Rock, NC.

Placing the block at the Landrum Library is a tribute both to Bonesteel who taught quilting at the previous library building in Landrum and who, in 1980, was one of the founders of the Landrum Library Quilt Club, now known as the Landrum Quilters.

Bonesteel introduced a new generation to quilting through her long-running series on PBS and with her books, some of which featured quilts made by her fellow quilters in Landrum.

The Carolina Lily quilt block dates to the 1830s and is a pattern that varies in design and in the name.

The beautiful floral motif complements both the vitality and the tranquility of Brookwood Park, some 14 acres, located in the City of Landrum adjacent to Highway 14, also known as East Rutherford Street.

The park area originally contained a small lake at the rear of the property near Brookwood Drive. For a short period, this area was also used as a dumping ground.

Maintained for a number of years by the Spartanburg County Parks and Recreation Commission, the park grounds, at one time, included a swimming pool, tennis courts, and a putt-putt golf course. The picnic shelter was built in 1984.

The City of Landrum began developing the front of the park around 2001 by adding a playground and a gazebo. In 2007 the city created a half-mile walking trail in the central portion of the park which had been overgrown with kudzu.

The S. C. Department of Parks, Recreation, and Tourism and the Mary Black Foundation assisted the city with funding.

Several exercise stations were then added at the southern end, along with picnic tables and benches.

In 2022 Steps to Hope acquired the former Hospice Thrift Barn, located not far from I-26, Landrum exit.

The mission of Steps to Hope is to create a community free from the violence of domestic and sexual abuse through education, advocacy, and victim assistance.

The barn was originally started by Hospice of the Carolina Foothills, founded in 1981as a non-profit organization dedicated to serving the foothill communities of North and South Carolina. It provided compassionate end-of-life care while meeting the medical, emotional, and spiritual needs of individuals and their families.

The block Rays of Hope was chosen to represent that, through adversity, hope is always present.

Carol Doak, best-selling author, teacher, and award-winning internationally-known quiltmaker, designed this paper-pieced block as a wall quilt for one of her classes and offered it as a free pattern on her Web site.

Building Blocks now hangs on the ReStore, operated by Thermal Belt Habitat for Humanity.

This block, first published in Household Magazine in 1929, incorporates the navy and green colors associated with Habitat for Humanity International.

Thermal Belt Habitat was formed in May 1983 as a direct result of a Rotary Club community service project to insulate homes of needy families in Tryon, NC. Rotarians, assisted by local churches, founded this affiliate when they discovered most homes were in such poor condition that insulation would be a wasted effort. The Thermal Belt goal was to meet the extensive housing needs found throughout Polk County, NC, and Landrum, SC. The first house was dedicated in August 1984 and, as of August 2012, 64 houses have been built for local residents.

Habitat for Humanity International, founded in 1976, is a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian ministry that supports the belief that every person should have a decent, safe, and decent place to live. To date, Habitat has built more than 500,000 houses, occupied by 2.5 million people worldwide.

The Liberated Log Cabin block, introduced in 1987 by Gwen Marston, combines traditional and contemporary designs, both of which are reflected in the quilt shop and original patterns created by Robin Kaluahine, owner of Elaine’s Attic.

An internationally-recognized quilter and author Marston acknowledges that her inspiration for liberated quilting comes from antique blocks and quilts which lack the precision associated with quilts of today.

Robin traces her love of quilting to her mom and her Aunt Elaine. When her mom found quilt pieces in the attic made by Robin’s grandmother, she gave them to Elaine to sew together. The result was a quilt each for Robin and her sister to pass down to their daughters.

Elaine’s Attic started from Robin’s addiction to quilting and her introduction to online selling through eBay. The shop opened in her home in June 2007 and moved to its Landrum location in the historic Coach House building in April 2011.

Two slight color variations of the same quilt block hang at Operation Hope in downtown Landrum. The Christian-based ecumenical community crisis and outreach ministry include a re-sale store and a free medical clinic for the uninsured and underserved residents of northwest Spartanburg County.

The executive director believes bright stars provide hope through difficult times, peace to volunteers as they serve, and joy for shoppers and donors who are helping their neighbors. “Most of all, stars can guide us all to the warm light and assuring love of Jesus Christ,” she added.

Military service and patriotism are an integral part of the Carruth family, owners of Carruth Furniture.

The Patriotic Tribute quilt block honors all who have served in the U. S. Military and those will serve in the future. The star in the middle acknowledges Gold Star Mothers who have lost children in the service of this country.

Frank Carruth who started the business in 1953 was a World War II Army veteran. His cousin Jack, who had worked in the store since it started, later purchased the business in 1967. He served in the U. S. Navy during World War II and his son John, the current owner, was a member of the S. C. National Guard.

After the war, Frank owned and operated a Sinclair filling station, the Firestone Tire and Appliance Store and auto repair business on property at the corner of U. S. 176 and Highway 14. The first television set in Landrum was displayed in the Firestone Store window and John recalls stories of people gathering around outside the window to watch.

Frank built Carruth’s on adjacent property at 104 S. Howard St.

The store burned to the ground on Mother’s Day 1997 except for the exterior walls and floors. These were incorporated into the rebuilt and remodeled structure.

John serves on Landrum City Council and is active in community affairs. His older daughter Nicole Chapman is the third generation to work in the store.

The Carruth family has lived in Landrum for more than 90 years.

The Little Dutch Girl, a favorite traditional pattern, was one of the blocks on a Georgia Bonesteel sampler quilt made by Mary Harris Johnson of Landrum in the late Seventies.

Her daughter Martha J. Walker sponsored this quilt block in memory of her mother and in honor of Ruth Farrar, a long-time friend of her mother’s and one of the co-founders of the Landrum Library Quilt Club in 1980. The club is now known as the Landrum Quilters.

The block hangs on the Johnson Building which was built in 1963 by Martha’s parents, Mary and Tommy Johnson, and houses both professional offices and retail space.

Both of the Johnsons were very involved in the life of the Landrum community. Tommy Johnson served as the Landrum Town Clerk and Treasurer for several years and was named Landrum Citizen of the Year in 1992. His civic involvement included membership on the Spartanburg County Board of Education and the Spartanburg County Board of Commissioners. Mary Johnson, an active member of First Baptist Church of Landrum, helped establish the church nursery along with Ruth Farrar and served on numerous committees including the building committee for the fellowship hall.

Mary and Tommy Johnson started the Landrum Insurance and Real Estate Agency in 1952, and the business continues to serve the Landrum area today under the management of Bob Walker, Martha’s husband, who represented the Landrum area in the State House of Representative from 1992 - 2008 and now serves on Spartanburg County Council.

Martha Walker was a math teacher for 29 years, including 23 years at Landrum High School. She is the author of Landrum Schools Through the Decades, published in 2016.

This original quilt block Enduring Chestnuts featuring the chestnut tree and its fruit pays homage to the Chesnutt family and its deep roots in America.

After 225 years, the Chesnutt clan has come full circle, residing once again in North Carolina where the family landed in the late 1700s.

Chesnutt family members began to settle in the Charleston and Savannah areas in the mid-1800s. From there they proceeded into central Georgia and on to Birmingham, Ala. In the late 1900s, the family settled in western Tennessee before returning to where they all started - North Carolina.

Jean Chesnutt started her UPS shipping business, The Mail Room, in 1980, the same year her husband, Pat, established Chesnutt Associates, a manufacturers’ agency. Ten years later, they erected the building they share in Landrum.

Residing in Tryon, NC, since 1975, the Chesnutts have three girls: Sally and her husband Larry who live in Front Royal, Va., with their sons Jake and Patrick; Alice and husband David with sons Sam and Angus, residents of Wilmington, NC; and Kathryn, her husband Craig and son Colin who live down the hill from her parents in Tryon, NC.

This close family shares a central theme: ”love each other a lot…and laugh at every opportunity.”

The railroad served as the lifeblood of Landrum from the mid-1870s until the Southern Railway closed its station here and in Campobello on June 29, 1973.

The Rev. John Gill Landrum offered the railroad four acres of land on the condition it be used for a station. The railroad accepted and named the new depot Landrum Station.

The town was founded around the depot at a public auction on June 12, 1877. Rev. Landrum offered 47 lots and O. P. Earle, another 16. A two-story structure with living quarters for the station agent and his family on the second floor because of the scarcity of housing. Six years later, it burned and the present depot was built.

According to the Landrum Leader’s July 3, 1973 article recounting the history of the station, “Lumber, cross ties, telephone poles, cotton, grain, peaches, and some cattle were shipped from Landrum by farmers of northeast Greenville County, northwest Spartanburg County and Polk County. In the early days, the depot was a busy place. For amusement, many of the townspeople met trains on Sundays and holidays to see who was coming or going, to watch express and mail loaded and unloaded, and to watch, in awe, the mighty power of a smoking, puffing locomotive. Grape growing got its start in the Landrum-Tryon area because of the ready market for fresh grapes to passengers on trains passing through.” These trains ran between Asheville and Charleston until 1972.

After the station closed, the city was granted use of the depot in a lease that set the amount at $1 for 100 years. The Landrum Civic Center officially opened in 1976 after renovations by several civic groups.

The need for more extensive work to maintain the depot became obvious after several decades of use.

On November 16, 2013, the city celebrated the re-opening and two-year renovation of the depot. The city’s hospitality tax fund was the principal source of funding, with assistance from the Polk County Community Foundation.

The building now houses artifacts found during the renovation and provides event meeting space.

The School House block pays tribute to the origin of the center, built-in 1922 as the elementary school for the community to replace the wooden structure which burned.

The two-story structure has a working bell tower and is supported by the Greater Gowensville Association through an annual Fall Festival on the second Saturday in November.

The building is listed as an historic site by the Greenville County Historic Association.

The Landrum Quilters, founded in 1980, has met at the community center for many years. The group holds a monthly business meeting with a program and show and tell on the 2nd Thursday of each month at 9:30 a. m. A Monday bee is usually set for the 4th Monday at 9:30 a. m. A biennial Landrum Quilt Show takes place at Landrum Middle School on odd-numbered years. The group is known for its philanthropic efforts with the Ronald McDonald House, the Hospice House of Landrum, Steps to Hope and the Hope Center for Children. Members also have worked with the City of Landrum to develop and expand the Foothills Quilt Trail.

The block is replicated from a quilt created by former LQ member Karla Glova and her mother Nelda Barkmann.

As the name of their business implies, Tim and Molly Dunn are proud of their American heritage, particularly the military service of their families.

Tim is an Iraqi war veteran who spent four years in U. S. Army; his parents served in the U. S. Navy. Molly’s father was a career Air Force so the family lived in Germany and all over the United States.

54-40 or Fight, a traditional quilt pattern, recalls the 1844 presidential campaign slogan used by James F. Polk to stress his platform of taking control over the entire Oregon Territory with the northern boundary latitude 54/40. At that time the British had a joint claim over the territory. After Polk defeated Henry Clay, the better known of the two candidates, he negotiated the Treaty of Oregon in 1846 to set the 49-degree latitude boundary which still exists.

The Dunns established their business in 2003 and moved to the Landrum location in 2009. They specialize in printed items including apparel, banners, signs, decals and the like.

The building formerly housed a doctor’s office, antique store and children’s boutique.

Mayful’s Star is so named to honor Mayful Harris of Lake Charles, La., aunt of Kim Karaman, co-owner of this business.

According to Karaman, her aunt was a prolific quilter as long as she can remember. This is a traditional star design with colors selected by Karaman.

Karaman and her husband Mike bought the three-building antique mall in 2000.

Apparently, each of the three buildings once housed its own unique businesses. The left building was thought to be the site of a dinner theatre in the Eighties. The middle building was a movie theatre in the Thirties and a roller rink in the Forties. The right building was once a drug store with a soda fountain.

This location has a new sponsor, Parkside Dental, the practice of Dr. John Moneyhun.

Dr. Paul Walters. the original sponsor, related this story about why he chose the Bow Tie block.

This block comes from a childhood quilt made in 1973 by Estelle Crosby, affectionally known by Dr. Walters and his sister as Mamie Tell. She had no grandchildren but considered them as her family since she lived next door.

She made this quilt completely by hand, each square cut from an old family pattern. The blue gingham alternated with white for the top, cotton formed the middle layer and a flat white sheet was used for the back. She used a quilting frame that belonged to her grandmother who died in the 1800s. Several ladies from the church helped.

“I would often go over after school to check on the progress to find the ladies around the quilt frame with their thimbles, needle, and thread. Lemonade and cookies were also available, so I had another reason for going next door,” said Dr. Walters. “They used beeswax on the thread to keep it from breaking and to make the quilting process easier. Mamie Tell said it belonged to her grandmother, so the quit I have had for 40+ years was made using 100-year-old beeswax.”

Dr. Walters used it on his bed at home during his childhood and it also went to college with him. He has now retired the quilt from use and has it carefully stored to pass on as an heirloom to his daughter or grandchild in the future.

Dr. Walters' story and the Bow Tie quilt block were featured in Suzi Parron's book, Following the Barn Quilt Trail, published in 2016.

Stone Soup Restaurant, known for its fine dining and fresh, local ingredients, derived its name from the familiar folk tale in which hungry strangers encouraged townspeople to share their food.

This reflects owner Suzanne Strickland's philosophy everyone benefits when coming together to share as a community.

She wanted a quilt block because she liked the way they looked and how they added interest and art to the city. Her block, entitled Moon In My Window, is a colorful, contemporary design that came from an award-winning quilt created by Judy Kimbrell, a member of the Landrum Quilters. The original designer Elisa Wilson gave permission for its usage. The block name also recognizes Strickland’s many evenings in the Stone Soup kitchen.

Originally a market and cafe when it opened in 2004, Strickland is putting the specialty food market back into the restaurant, featuring a variety of pastries made in-house along with frozen casseroles and soups to go.

Local bread, meats, eggs, and vegetables are part of the culinary experience at Stone Soup.

Strickland, an accomplished equestrian and painter, is also president of Our Carolina Foothills, a nonprofit organization that promotes tourism for Landrum, Saluda, Tryon, and Columbus through special events and through its website.

Before moving to this area, she worked in commercial interior design and as a sales rep for an international company. After studying culinary arts at Greenville Tech, she opened Stone Soup and has guided it to its present success as a restaurant and catering company.

This business was originally known as P3.

During the Depression, those riding the rails in boxcars often would jump off during a stop to look for food. If they found a home willing to provide a handout, they would draw a sign on the house so those coming after them would know to knock on the door.

The Hobo Cat design signified a kind-hearted woman who would feed strangers.

Because of their devotion to the welfare of animals, particularly cats, Kelly Vinesett and Yvonne Bebber selected this design for their first shop, Vera, later moving the quilt block and their two shop cats to P3 Consignments, their new location downtown.

P3, which stands for Paws, Prayers & Promises, is an upscale non-profit consignment shop and 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to caring for animals in Polk County, NC, Landrum, Campobello, and Gowensville, SC. It offers financial support to local animal welfare groups that promote humane practices for both pets and their owners.

A traditional pattern, Flying Bats, on the corner of the Mullins Cleaners building, is sponsored by the Christopher Family.

Perry Earle Christopher operated Christo Cleaners in the same building prior to its purchase by the Mullins Family.

Mary Miller Earle Christopher, the creator of the fabric block, was born in 1869, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. O. P. Earle in the home now known as Four Columns. After finishing Hollins Institute in Virginia, she returned home to marry Dr. Richard Goode Christopher in 1897. The land where Four Columns stands was settled in the 1760s; the plantation and farm became known as Earlesville, SC.

Their first home was built on a portion of her land inheritance, now the site of Bi-Lo and Wood Creek Dental. Later they moved to their main residence and his office on the corner of Lee and E. Rutherford where the Landrum Post Office now stands.

Mrs. Christopher loaned books and tutored Latin, sharing her family’s love of education with local students. Of their nine children, only seven sons lived to adulthood. Four of these - John, Baylis, Perry Earle, and Gerard, remained in Landrum and were involved in business, community, and church affairs.

The extensive Earle land holdings extended into neighboring counties and included what is now Landrum. Nancy Earle, Mrs. Christopher’s sister, was the second wife of Rev. John G. Landrum. A portion of her inheritance was given to for depot, named Landrum Station.

Additional Earle land, sold in lots, created the Landrum business district. Through the years, Earle descendants have donated land for Brookwood Park, Landrum First Baptist Church, and O. P. Earle Elementary School.

As the town of Landrum expanded around the railroad, the name of Earlesville disappeared forever.

Elaine Hobbs’ love of gardening is evident in the beautiful grounds surrounding The Yellow House, a charming craftsman cottage, c. 1910.

This bright geometric pattern, published in the August 2010 issue of American Patchwork Quilting, first caught the eye of Judy Kimbrell, a member of the Landrum Quilters. Originally titled Points of Pride, Judy made a queen-size quilt which was an award winner at the 2015 Landrum Quilt Show.

Next, the striking design appealed to Todd Cox as he tried to find the right pattern for Sissy’s quilt block. Because of the small space available in the storefront, the detailed center block of the quilt was selected and reproduced exactly from Kimbrell’s creation.

Sissy which opened in June 2012 as a gift shop has transitioned into the first quality women’s boutique and gifts under the direction of Cox and his mother Diana Winkler. The store is named for Mrs. Winkler’s mother Vera Koller of Baltimore, Md., known to all as “Sissy.” Oscar the cat served as the official greeter for several years.

In determining a quilt block design for the family’s new business property, Stephanie Prince Bolding considered one featuring a pineapple, the symbol of Southern hospitality. Imagine her surprise when her mom Paulette then showed her the family crest which featured three pineapples!

Pineapple Legacy, a very colorful pattern featuring batik fabrics, was reproduced with permission by the Quilting Time designer Vicki Stratton.

Prince Gas Company began in 1932 when founder Boyce F. Prince sold coal from the back of his pickup truck. In the years since, the business has maintained its roots in fuel but has changed with the times. A second office operates in Boiling Springs.

Through the Seventies, the company continued to sell coal, offloading directly from the train cars outside its small office. It also acquired a fuel oil business in the Fifties which thrived until it was sold in 2003.

Jack Prince, son of the founder, maintained a gasoline business from the Sixties to the mid-1990s. In 1993, the focus turned to the propane business, growing from 100 customers to more than 2,000 in Hendersonville, Boiling Springs, Spartanburg, Greer, Tryon, and Columbus in addition to Landrum.

An appliance sales department was added in 1995, featuring gas log fireplaces, cast iron stoves, propane heaters, and tankless water heaters. Outdoor grills, gas lights, and smokers are also sold, along with stylish outdoor furniture.

The asphalt paving side of the company started in 1968, assures work for summer months when fuel deliveries decline.

Steve Prince, the third-generation owner and company president, is joined in the business by his son Daniel who handles field operations, and Stephanie, in charge of the office.

A big move came in 2014 when the business relocated from its 700 square foot office next to the downtown railroad tracks to a 3,000 square foot building for its office, showroom, and storage, complete with a porch and patio area.

Lael Dann, the owner of Be Well Massage which she opened three years ago, is a co-sponsor of Pineapple Legacy.

Since her business occupies one of the two rental spaces adjoining Prince Gas, she liked the idea of having a colorful quilt block to add to the aesthetics of the buildings.

Be Well Massage’s three therapists offer a wide range of modalities including Swedish, deep tissue, myofascial release, cupping, deep tissue, reflexology, and reiki.

Lael, a native of Landrum, studied art but changed course to massage therapy after prayer and a chance encounter with a stranger.
