Davis Plantation, Greek Revival plantation in Fairfield County, United States
Davis Plantation is a Greek Revival mansion in Fairfield County built between 1840 and 1850. The two-story building features a hipped roof, four square Doric columns, and fanlight windows flanking the entrance doors.
James B. Davis, a descendant of Revolutionary War Captain James Kincaid, built this property after his medical training ended. The structure dates to the pre-Civil War period and reflects the region's development in the 1800s.
The property keeps its farming character through generations of agricultural work in this rural area. The buildings and grounds still show how people organized their work and lived on the land.
The property sits on a high knoll and is reached by a driveway bordered with pecan and live oak trees. This location offers good views of the surrounding land and makes it easy to navigate the grounds.
The founder James B. Davis initially worked as a physician before switching to farming and horse breeding after just two years in medical practice. This career shift shaped the property into one of the region's notable thoroughbred breeding operations.
