MONCKS CORNER, S.C. (WCBD) – There will soon be new life at the former Williams Farm Supply building in Moncks Corner. The building, which has been there for more than 90 years, will not be demolished – instead, it will be revitalized with new shops.
Elvin Guillermo, who co-owns the property, said he was visiting the Charleston area on a birthday trip when he stumbled upon Moncks Corner. “I loved everything about it. The charming stuff and it still had an old-like feel with a rich history. When I saw that building for sale, I thought it was the perfect building that I was looking for to kind of bring back to life,” he said.
He currently lives in New Jersey but plans on moving to the Lowcountry in the next few years. He wants to keep and renovate the building rather than tear it down and build new.
“It used to be an old feed store for a long time, which you know a lot of people were excited we’re keeping it because they remember seeing it with their grandfather, used to bring them there and get the feed from Rusty’s Place and it’s a very important full of rich history,” he said.
