Stone Manufacturing Company / Underneath.com, 3452 North Main Street: 2011 2 comments
Depending on if you believe showcase.com or LoopNet (which has a nice aerial view), this building was built either in 1942 or 1939. Either way, it's an old one, and has a little character, at least from the front side.
I'm not entirely sure if the Stone Manufacturing Company is defunct or has just moved. They are still listed in the February 2011 phonebook with the notation "undwr" which coupled with the fact that the location is, or was, somehow involved with the still extant internet underwear retailing site underneath.com, I take to mean that it is or was a textile operation making underclothes. There's probably a joke in there somewhere about how people in glass houses shouldn't wear Stone's..

Drift Peak Brewing is planning to open in 2022 in the old Saluda Underwear Co. / Stone Manufacturing Co. building at 3452 N. Main Street. https://www.wltx.com/article/news/community/columbia-developers-positive-impact-north-main-new-brewery/101-5feaba39-7040-496f-a891-5079bfcbc88d?fbclid=IwAR3Of3Me4lymyTu3M3tSDEdiQuLG4iH9m8wPtl5w51zCgEV5RHzGTt8lhRA
That for sale/lease sign has been out there since September 2005.
I believe somewhere on a Have your Say post, someone said Stone Manufacturing moved to that building behind Hess a couple of blocks up North Main. Someone else posted what name brand they made t-shirts for in the 70s (Fila maybe?).
