South Carolina - Boone Hall Plantation

The land has passed through many owners but it’s been operating as a plantation/farm for 300+ years. 
This house was completed in 1936
Boone Hall Plantation, established in 1681 by a grant to Major John Boone, remained in the family for 130 years. The plantation, purchased by the Horlbeck family in 1817, produced primarily Sea Island cotton. A cotton gin, smokehouse, and 9 slave cabins, all built of brick made here, survive from the antebellum period. The present main house at Boone Hall was built for Thomas A. Stone in 1936.  (http://mountpleasanthistorical.org/items/show/3_)
