On Main Street
Susan Phillips Sease ’73
Fall 2003
Microbiology graduate Susan Sease is
in the midst of a second career. After more than two decades with Campbell
Soup Co., Nabisco and Nestlé,
including managing laboratories and quality assurance departments,
she retired. But as she had more time to delve into her second passion — history — she
realized her retirement wouldn’t last long.
She and her husband, Wayne, bought a century-old home on Spartanburg’s
Main Street in 2002 and began the arduous task of restoring it. They
called on Clemson alumnus and architect Martin
Meek and his firm’s
interior designer, Angie Thompson, for help.
Now, the Seases are the proud proprietors of a bed and breakfast, The
Inn on Main. The inn features six guest rooms, each with a Spartanburg
historical theme — textiles, peaches, Revolutionary War, gardens,
Hub City days and the Alexander family who were longtime owners of
the original home.
The Inn on Main, the only bed and breakfast in downtown Spartanburg,
was added to the National Register of Historic Places earlier this
year. For more information, email theinnonmain@charter.net or call
