Beaver Dam Plantation House
Beaver Dam Plantation House, Federal plantation house near Davidson, North Carolina, US.
The two-story brick residence features four bays, end chimneys, and extends across a property encompassing 8.7 acres of North Carolina land.
William Lee Davidson Jr constructed this Federal style plantation house in 1829, following his father's notable service during the Revolutionary War.
The property housed 25 to 30 laborers who maintained agricultural operations across its original 785 acres during the antebellum period.
Davidson College acquired the property in 1998 and leased it to the Town of Davidson, which maintains it as a public park.
The location for Davidson College was determined during a Concord Presbytery committee meeting held at this plantation house in April 1835.
