Beaufort Historic District, Historic district in Beaufort, South Carolina, US.
The 304-acre district contains Federal, Neoclassical, Greek Revival, and Victorian architecture along streets lined with oak trees and historic homes.
Established in 1711, Beaufort survived the Civil War intact as Union forces used the buildings for hospitals and military offices rather than destroying them.
The district features structures built with tabby, an early form of concrete made from oyster shells, sand, lime, and ash, reflecting colonial construction methods.
The Historic District Review Board oversees all construction, renovation, and demolition projects to maintain the architectural integrity of the neighborhood.
The Robert Smalls House on Prince Street marks the birthplace of an escaped slave who became the first African American member of Congress.
