Whitehall is a Georgian Revival residence in Aiken, South Carolina, built around 1928 for Robert R. McCormick, a Chicago Tribune owner. Designed by Willis Irvin of Augusta, the one-story brick U-shaped house was constructed on the foundation of an earlier structure destroyed by fire and won Irvin a gold medal for Domestic Work at the 1929 Southern Architectural Exhibition. The composition features three sections, each with a gabled roof; the two projecting wings display pedimented ends, boxed cornices with block modillions, round vents, and Doric pilasters, while the central section showcases a pedimented Doric portico with a semicircular fanlight and sidelights framing the entrance. A Doric entablature spans the central section, and windows throughout are regular six-over-six with dentiled architraves. The house is believed to incorporate ornate interior woodwork salvaged from the home of John C. Calhoun's daughter. Whitehall was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
