Calliham’s TV and Appliance under foreclosure web posted February 13, 2009 EDGEFIELD – The Calliham TV and Appliance Building and property that was the focus of a much debated proposed purchase by the county seems to have been all for nothing as prior to the county council voting to drop their option to buy, foreclosure proceedings were already filed in court records. Records show the proceedings were filed in December of last year and the property could be sold on the steps of the Edgefield County Courthouse next month to the highest bidder. Fletcher F. Lawrence Jr. of Greenwood has foreclosed on several properties owned by J. P. (James) Calliham in addition to the property where the family owned appliance and furniture store has operated for half a century. According to information obtained by EdgefieldDaily.com and court records, the properties could be put up for sale in the first two weeks of March and most likely includes properties on Country Club Road, Butler Street, Addison Street, as well as the store property on Penn Street. A Special Referee apparently has been appointed to oversee the sale. Douglas L. Bell, Esquire, of the McDonald Patrick Baggett Poston & Hemphill, LLP law firm in Greenwood is representing Mr. Lawrence in the matter. The store remained open for business as of Thursday. The county sought to purchase the Penn Street property for $425,000 to expand county offices and the future expansion of the Sheriff’s Office and County Jail which is adjacent to the property. The Edgefield County Council voted in January to withdraw their offer. Additional reports will follow as more information is obtained in the matter. A “Notice of Sale” will have to be published in at least one of the local papers for three consecutive weeks prior to the public sale. © Copyright 2009
