This was one of the first plantation properties in North America. The king of England divided the southern coast of the colonies between 8 Lord Proprietors. The charter was to further break up the land to planters, many from the island of Barbados plantations. This was done in 1623.
The building below is part of the brick structure of 1741. The actual plantation homes are nothing like I thought they would be. Though there are a few that have the ‘Hollywood’ look. In the real world brick was used as much as possible. Things had a tendency to burn down back then.
Best viewed large.

Wow. Just look at the girth of that Live Oak tree! Great building, too :-))
Some of the old plantation Live Oaks are huge 😁. This spring I walked through what must have been part of the original entrance to the Magnolia plantation (5 miles down road from this). I don’t think I’d ever been there. The oaks were twice this for maybe 3/4 of a mile. Stunning!
Impressive property and photo!
We live right by ‘plantation row’, there is plenty to photograph. 😁😁. Thanks.
