Hartley House
This house was built before 1800 for John Pierson Bond, according to local tradition. It later came into the possession of John Bates, of the family for whom Batesburg derives its name, and has been owned for over a century by Lodwick Hartley and his family. It was the first meeting place of the Batesville Masonic Lodge and was a stagecoach mail stop.
Marker is on East Columbia Avenue (U.S. 1) west of Rose Street, on the left when traveling east.
