Cassina Point, 1847 Antebellum Plantation House on Edisto Island, South Carolina
The two-and-a-half story rectangular house features a side-gable roof, raised brick basement, weatherboard exterior, and a five-bay hipped roof porch with plain columns.
Built between 1847 and 1848 for James Hopkinson and Carolina Lafayette Seabrook Hopkinson, the plantation operated as a center for cotton production on Edisto Island.
The Third New Hampshire Regiment established headquarters at Cassina Point during the Civil War, documenting the house and its enslaved workers through photographs.
Located at 1847 Olde Cassina Point Road, the property encompasses 140 acres with a tidal creek flowing into the Dawhoo River on Edisto Island.
The plantation received its name from Ilex cassine, the dahoon holly plants that grow abundantly throughout the surrounding property grounds.
