Pegues Place, Historic house near Wallace, Marlboro County, South Carolina, United States

Pegues Place, also known as the Claudius Pegues House, is a two-story Georgian white frame house built about 1770 near Wallace, Marlboro County, South Carolina. It has a one-story porch running the full width of its facade, and a wing was added in the late 19th century. The property also holds contributing barns, a cotton gin, a wash house, a log smoke house, a carriage house and a greenhouse.

The site played a key role during the American Revolutionary War when a prisoner exchange took place there in 1781 between Lieutenant Colonel Edward Carrington and Captain Frederick Cornwallis. This meeting represented an important moment of military negotiation in the region.

The house is named for Claudius Pegues, the Huguenot settler associated with the property. The surviving outbuildings — barns, a cotton gin, wash house, log smoke house, carriage house and greenhouse — show the working parts of the farmstead a visitor can still pick out on the grounds.

The house stands near Wallace in Marlboro County, off the route between Bennettsville and the state line; the grounds hold the main house plus barns, a cotton gin, wash house, log smoke house, carriage house and greenhouse. The property is private and not a staffed museum, so view the house and outbuildings from the road and respect the grounds.

The house is named for Claudius Pegues, the French Huguenot settler associated with the property; the sources do not record his offices or his role at St. David's Episcopal Church. The house itself was built about 1770, and a wing was added in the late 19th century.
