City of Camden Historic District
City of Camden Historic District, Historic district in Camden, South Carolina.
The City of Camden Historic District contains 48 buildings, 8 sites, 2 structures, and 3 objects across 1,794 acres of land in Kershaw County.
The district expanded after a fire in 1813 destroyed the original town, leading to development northward into the Kirkwood area with summer cottages and year-round residences.
The architecture includes Federal, Greek Revival, and Classical Revival styles, with buildings designed by Robert Mills, including the Kershaw County Courthouse and Camden Opera House.
The district boundaries extend from city limits in the south to Dicey Creek Road in the north, with Southern Railroad right-of-way marking east and west limits.
Many original summer cottages remain incorporated into later mansions, preserved within the structures of larger homes built around them in the Kirkwood neighborhood.
