Mackorell/Roper/Suyes House - 123
229 Kings Mountain St.
This three-story home was begun by the owner of Mackorell Brothers Wholesale Grocers in 1917 and was completed in 1920. The house was called “The Aquarium” during the ten years he lived in the house until it was purchased by Mr. And Mrs. David Richard Suyes III in 1999. The Suyes family completed extensive renovations. Some of the distinguishing features include a unique hand-raked gold brick exterior, cherry inlaid floors, five sixty-five hand-rolled glass windows, the original 1920s central vacuum system, and the grand entrance foyer. Renovations included a wrought iron fence, a heated swimming pool, the paved circular drive, and the transformation of the carriage house into guest quarters.
