Mulberry Plantation, Plantation in Berkeley County, South Carolina, United States

Mulberry Plantation is a two-story brick house on the southern shore of the Cooper River between Moncks Corner and Charleston. It has a gambrel roof, a gabled portico at the main entrance, and engaged single-story square pavilions with pyramidal roofs at each corner of the main block. The house is a rare little-altered example of high-style early Georgian architecture.

The estate was built around 1714 by Thomas Broughton, who later became the Royal Governor of South Carolina. The house originally served as a defensive site against attacks and functioned as a protective station during the Yamasee War.

The triangular gable above the south porch shows a mulberry sapling framed by a horseshoe, probably symbolizing early 18th-century hopes of establishing a silk industry in South Carolina. The corner pavilions are said to reflect Huguenot influence, and the weather vanes above them are engraved with the year 1714, the only clue to the house's construction date.

The property lies on the southern shore of the Cooper River, between the river and Old United States Route 52, south of Moncks Corner. It is privately owned, so the house is seen from the road; a two-mile entry road crosses the grounds. The rice fields, dikes and canals survived into the 20th century.

The date 1714 carved into the weather vanes above the corner pavilions is the only clue to when the house was built. The gable over the south porch shows a mulberry sapling framed by a horseshoe, probably a nod to hopes of founding a silk industry in early 18th-century South Carolina.
