Beneventum Plantation House
Beneventum Plantation House, Georgian plantation house in Georgetown County, United States.
The two-story residence features a one-story portico across the center two-thirds of its facade with five symmetrical bays in Georgian style.
Originally named Prospect Hill Plantation, the structure was constructed around 1750 and received additions to its rear section approximately in 1800.
Christopher Gadsden, who designed the historic 'Don't Tread on Me' flag and served as brigadier general in the Continental Army, resided at this estate.
The property maintains private residence status, yet visitors can observe a state historical marker installed along the public right of way on Beneventum Road.
John Julius Pringle renamed the estate to Beneventum in 1829, selecting an Italian term meaning 'good wind' to indicate its favorable location for river crossing.
