Heyward House and Historical Center, Historical center in Bluffton, United States.
The Heyward House displays early Carolina Farmhouse architecture with wide heart pine boards, large windows, and traditional construction methods from 1841.
John J. Cole constructed this residence with enslaved workers as a summer home, later expanding it to accommodate his growing family by 1860.
The property contains the sole remaining slave cabin in Bluffton, providing evidence of the complex social structures of antebellum South Carolina.
The center functions as the official welcome point for Bluffton, offering visitor information, guided tours, maps, and brochures about local attractions.
The original summer kitchen structure underwent reconstruction using a combination of period materials and new wood after sustaining beetle damage.
