Gravel Hill Plantation, Historic plantation house in Allendale County, United States.
Gravel Hill Plantation is a two-story white frame building with Greek Revival architecture and a raised basement. An ornamental porch with five columns sits on the east facade, while the main entrance features a portico with four square wooden columns, with two small wings extending from each side of the main structure.
Gravel Hill Plantation was built between 1857 and 1859 as a two-story frame Greek Revival dwelling with a raised basement. The Bryan Brothers later owned the property for many years and ran Bull Pond School there. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.
For many years the Bryan Brothers owned Gravel Hill, and the family ran Bull Pond School on the property. The school building also served as a polling place for the community. Nearby stood Bull Pond Plantation, held by the Flowers and Brown families, south across Community Road, now Gaul Branch Road.
Gravel Hill Plantation stands near Allendale, South Carolina, and its grounds once fronted Gravel Hill (Bryan) Road, Ashe Road and what is now Gaul Branch Road. The house and its two-story frame smokehouse are on private rural land, so view them from the public roads rather than walking the property.
The property once covered nearly 1,000 acres, and its two-story frame smokehouse still stands as a contributing structure. The house sits on a raised basement with a gable roof, and a balustraded piazza with five small columns runs along the east facade.
