Ashtabula, human settlement in South Carolina, United States of America
Ashtabula is a house built in 1828 located near Pendleton in South Carolina and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The two-story white building features porches on three sides with square columns, a central staircase, and tall windows with six-pane sashes.
The house was built in 1828 and originally served as the center of a plantation focused on rice cultivation. Throughout the 19th century, it was home to notable figures such as Dr. O.R. Broyles, who introduced innovative farming methods, and later Francis Pelzer, an industrial leader who founded the Pelzer Manufacturing Company.
The main house reflects the architecture typical of plantations from that era, with its wide porches and classical columns. This design shows how families organized community and social gatherings into their daily lives.
The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972 and is not open to public tours since it remains in private ownership. Information about the property can be accessed through historical records and official photographs.
The brick outbuilding constructed around 1790 is older than the main house and originally served as a kitchen and work area for servants. Its horizontal wall planks covered with wallpaper preserve the building styles of that early period.
