The McAlister House is a beautifully renovated building (just a short walk from the main building) that was once part of the Greer School and now offers unique one- and two-bedroom residences. Built in the late 1950s, this historic house originally served as the home economics building for students and later as a guest house for the school.
The Greer School operated from the early 1900s until 1980 and served as a home for orphans and disadvantaged children. Today, the former classroom is the art room at The Fountains at Millbrook.
