Scope and Content Note

The Ned Albright Papers document the growth and development of Rock Hill, York County, and surrounding areas through an extensive collection of survey plats, subdivision maps, architectural drawings, and real estate planning materials dating from 1891–1981. The collection includes hand-drawn sketches, printed plats, subdivision layouts, commercial development plans, and survey maps created by surveyors and firms such as H.H. White, R.H. Marett, W.C. White, Miller and White, Marshall Realty, Peoples Trust Company, and Albright Realty. The materials primarily focus on York County and the Catawba region, with additional coverage of Chester, Lancaster, Kershaw, Charlotte, and Orlando, Florida. Many maps document residential subdivisions, commercial properties, industrial sites, transportation routes, and neighborhood development, while some include property ownership information, lot sales records, and restrictive covenants.

The papers reflect the professional career and civic involvement of Ned M. Albright, retired president of Albright Realty and longtime leader within South Carolina’s real estate community. A Rock Hill businessman and educator, Albright served on numerous local and state boards and organizations, including the York County Association of Realtors, the Rock Hill Chamber of Commerce, the Rock Hill Rotary Club, and the Come-See-Me Festival board. The collection provides valuable insight into twentieth-century land development, urban planning, suburban expansion, and real estate practices in the Rock Hill and York County region.
