Brookland Plantation, Greek Revival plantation on Edisto Island, South Carolina.

Brookland Plantation is a two-story timber house on Edisto Island, South Carolina, with a raised brick foundation and horizontal clapboard siding. A full-height portico of four square columns with simple capitals runs across the right part of the front, sheltering a first-floor porch and a second-floor balcony with a wooden railing. A one-story wing with its own hipped roof extends to the left, set slightly back, and a tall brick chimney rises behind it. The core of the house was built of black cypress.

Brookland Plantation existed by the late 18th century as the home of Joseph and Martha Jenkins, who are buried on the farm. The core of the present house, built of black cypress, may date from 1800 to 1807, though architectural historian Samuel G. Stoney argued for the 1840s; Robert Mills is a suggested architect. Ephriam Mikell Seabrook used the land as a cotton plantation before the Civil War, and Henry Seabrook lost it in an 1872 tax sale, when H.E. Young and James Lowndes bought the then-300 acres for $471.

Joseph and Martha Jenkins, the earliest recorded owners, are buried on the farm, and the old school bell from the boys' home is mounted in the back garden. The house served as Brooklands Home for Boys from 1958 until 1968, when the boys' home moved to Orangeburg County.

The property sits on Laurel Hill Road and remains privately owned with restricted access for visitors. Those wishing to visit must arrange permission in advance.

The house's core was built of black cypress, with side pavilions added later; the photograph shows a one-story wing set back to the left of the main block. Architectural historian Samuel G. Stoney argued the house was likely built in the 1840s rather than around 1800–1807, and Robert Mills has been suggested as its architect. The old school bell from the Brooklands Home for Boys, which occupied the site from 1958, is mounted in the back garden.
