Marshlands Plantation House
Marshlands Plantation House, Federal plantation house in Charleston County, United States.
The main entrance features a basement level with eight high brick arches and a steep stairway, complemented by eight slender columns supporting the first-floor piazza.
Built in 1810 during the rice production expansion after the American Revolution, the structure was relocated from Cooper River to Fort Johnson in 1961.
The interior design contains handcarved woodwork displaying two distinct architectural elements: Adam ornamentation and gouge work, representing period craftsmanship methods.
Located at 217 Fort Johnson Road in Charleston, South Carolina, the private property requires advance permission for visits and research purposes.
The College of Charleston acquired the house when the Navy planned its demolition, saving the structure through a community preservation effort.
