About this property

The Burdette Building, also known as Burdette Hardware Building or B.W. Burdette Building, in Simpsonville, South Carolina, was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 2003. It is a two-story building with brick walls laid in running bond, interrupted by pilasters. It was built in 1921 to replace the wood frame and brick building on the same site which had been destroyed by a fire.
