William Garrett Plantation, Greek Revival plantation in San Augustine County, United States

William Garrett Plantation is a plantation complex with a plantation house near San Augustine in San Augustine County, Texas. Enslaved people built the house in 1861 with lumber from a Garrett sawmill and rock from a Garrett quarry. It is Texas frontier architecture with some Greek Revival elements, noted for its grandiose scale.

Enslaved people built the William Garrett Plantation house in 1861, using lumber from a Garrett sawmill and rock from a Garrett quarry. The house originally faced the El Camino Real-Kings Highway, the main road through the area. The National Register of Historic Places listed the plantation complex in 1977.

The house was raised in 1861 by enslaved people who cut lumber at a Garrett sawmill and quarried the stone on the property. Its scale and Greek Revival touches were meant to be seen from the El Camino Real-Kings Highway, the main road that once ran directly past the door.

The house stands about 0.25 miles (0.40 km) off the main road, the El Camino Real-Kings Highway, after road realignment left it set back from the route. The surrounding area is rural, so plan to drive country roads to reach it.

The building was moved about 400 meters (one-quarter mile) from its original location due to a highway realignment of El Camino Real-Kings Highway. This relocation reveals how changing transportation routes affected the structure's position.
