Allison Plantation, Historic plantation in York County, United States.
Allison Plantation is a historic home and farm complex near York, South Carolina. Its main house, built about 1860, is a 2+1⁄2-story frame Greek Revival dwelling with a two-room one-story frame ell and a two-story pedimented portico supported by square columns. The property also holds a one-story frame barn, remains of a detached log kitchen, a concrete windmill pedestal, a spring house, a smokehouse, a mill, and the dilapidated remains of Dr. Allison's Drugstore.
The main house was built about 1860 in the Greek Revival style for Dr. Robert Turner Allison, a locally prominent physician and politician. The farm complex, including a barn, spring house, smokehouse, mill and the remains of Dr. Allison's Drugstore, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
The outbuildings trace the working life of the farm: a one-story frame barn, a spring house, a smokehouse, a mill, and the remains of the detached log kitchen. Also on the grounds are a concrete pedestal for a windmill and the dilapidated remains of Dr. Allison's Drugstore, a structure tied to the physician who owned the place.
Allison Plantation is a private farm complex near York, South Carolina, not a site with public visitor access or tours. It is reached from the surrounding rural roads of York County, and the buildings and grounds are seen from outside only. The structures are historic and partly dilapidated, so there are no marked paths or facilities.
The property preserves several rare architectural details including a two-room frame addition and an original concrete windmill pedestal on its grounds. A separate log kitchen building demonstrates the typical construction method of rural dependent structures from that period.
