Rip Raps Plantation
Rip Raps Plantation, Historic plantation building in Sumter County, United States.
The two-story frame residence features twin facades, each with a full-width pedimented portico supported by six paneled piers in Greek Revival style.
Built in 1858 on land granted to Peter Mellette in the 1750s, the plantation became home to author James McBride Dabbs from 1896 to 1970.
The property includes four original buildings, including an 1830 log smokehouse and carriage house that demonstrate traditional Southern construction methods.
Located off U.S. Highway 378 near Mayesville, the privately owned plantation requires advance permission for any visits or research activities.
The plantation house stands out for its symmetrical design with identical front and back facades, an uncommon architectural feature in antebellum Southern homes.
