Notes par Herman L. Boyd

HERMAN L. BOYD
By Wynness Thomas
Few people can look at buildings with X-ray eyes like Herman L. Boyd.The reason that he is able to see not only the outside but the inside ofmany structures is because he has built a hospital addition, homes,offices, store buildings, churches, motels, apartment buildings all over the county. He knows board by board and brick by brick just how they are constructed.

A son of Nancy Idelia Gore and Benjamin F. Boyd, Herman L. Boyd attended Loris High School and began carpentry work when he was in his 20's. In1942 he married Dalma Holt from Horry County and they moved to Folkstone, NC. Boyd was involved in carpentry work on government construction ,including Camp Davis, for several years; then they returned home and farmed a year.

In the mid-1940's Boyd began construction work again. He was later joined by his brother Robert G. Boyd (now deceased), who had returned from service. The two brothers united their efforts in construction work and the establishment of Boyd's Builders Supply. After a period of time the partnership was dissolved. Herman Boyd purchased the Builders Supply while Robert Boyd continued in the building business. After a few years Herman returned to building while continuing to operate the Building Supply. Later, realizing he could cut down on construction costs, he added his own planing mill and put in a dry kiln.

During his years of construction, Boyd sometimes employed as many as 50 people. At times, the customer would tell his ideas to Boyd and Boyd drewhis own

His work has included the offices of Dr. John Thomas, Dr. W.H. Johnson ,Dr. Hoyt Housand, Dr. Winferd Holt and Dr. Eston Williams. Churches he has built include Bayboro and Old Zion in NC, and additions to Good Hope, Green Sea, Sweet Home, Pleasant Meadow and others. He constructed the Loris Methodist parsonage, former Senator James P. Stevens' law office building, motels, apartment buildings and many residences at the beaches. Boyd has built homes all over Horry County and in Georgetown County and the first addition to Loris Hospital.

During the years, Boyd doubled the size of his own building to accommodate his growing business. In 1972 he terminated construction work and retained only the building supply. His son Jimmy and son-in-law TonyAmbrose now are working with him. His daughter Olivia owns a beauty shopin a building adjoining his business.
Boyd says it is almost unimaginable how prices have increased through the years. "Lumber was once $50 a thousand, now it is above $200," hesaid. "In 1972 I had never heard the word 'condo' and there were only two or three story buildings on the strand."

Boyd likes Loris, a quiet little town with plenty of business. "One doesn't have to leave to purchase anything," he acknowledges. He thinks the future looks good and the town is growing.
