Wilks Robinson, president of Wilks Robinson Construction Co., Marion, S.C., purchased a historic yet dilapidated farmhouse with the intent of restoring it to its former beauty.
The home had been in the McMillan family for over a hundred years. In 1998, Robinson purchased the home and 40 acres after Montique McMillan, the last surviving member of the family, passed away at 105 years of age. The old farmhouse had deteriorated and needed massive renovation in order to save the structure. The Robinson family began a three-year effort to restore the treasured home.
