Prospect Hill, Federal plantation house on Edisto Island, South Carolina.
The two-story Prospect Hill mansion stands on an elevated bluff, offering views across the South Edisto River through its classic architectural elements.
Ephraim Baynard constructed Prospect Hill around 1800, and by 1860 William Grimball Baynard owned the property along with 220 enslaved individuals.
The property represents the agricultural legacy of sea island cotton production in South Carolina through its preserved Federal architectural features.
The Nature Conservancy purchased Prospect Hill in 1999 for $5.75 million to protect 1200 acres of land along the South Edisto River.
Private homeowners now maintain this National Register of Historic Places site, which sits at coordinates 32.581667 latitude and -80.384444 longitude.
