Bon Haven, also known as The Cleveland House, was an historic house located in Spartanburg, Spartanburg County, South Carolina. It was built about 1884, and was a two-story, brick Second Empire style dwelling with 1920s Neo-Classical style additions. It featured a mansard roof, central tower and massive Ionic order columns and portico. Its builder, John B. Cleveland, was a founder and trustee of Converse College, a trustee of Wofford College, and played a role in the establishment of Spartanburg's city school system. [2] [3] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. [1]
Left to rot by its owner, the property was in a state of despair. A couple from Greenville offered to purchase Bon Haven for ~$380,000 and promised to historically restore the property and make it a venue or bed and breakfast. Bon Haven was demolished on September 25, 2017. [4] It was removed from the National Register in 2020. An apartment complex, also named Bon Haven, was built on the former site of the house in 2021.
