The Duncan Estate was built by Major David R. Duncan in 1897.
Major Duncan was a lawyer in Spartanburg, served as a trustee for both Wofford College and Converse College, and also served as a board member of Spartan Mills. He was elected to both the State Legislature and the State Senate, and served as the president of the Spartanburg-Asheville Railroad Company.
In 1874, Major Duncan purchased 300 acres of land off “Union Road”, and built his estate home shortly after. He lived in the home until his death in 1902, and his family remained in the home until 1937.
