Boone Hall Plantation House, Mount Pleasant South Carolina
Boone Hall Plantation, in rural Charleston County, South Carolina, was developed in several stages from the late seventeenth century through mid-twentieth century by the Boone, Horlbeck, and Stone families, as well as others. It retains a slave street, smokehouse, oak allee, and pecan groves that date from the occupancy of the Boones and Horlbecks; a cotton gin house also dating from that period, which was modified by the Stones; and a brick manor house with formal garden, two frame residences, and a barn complex from the period of the Stones' occupancy. The ensemble of intact antebellum properties, later nineteenth-century elements, twentieth-century residences and service buildings, effectively convey the post-Reconstruction era of land use in the Lowcountry.
