Bunker Hill Historic District

The Bunker Hill Historic District contains numerous structures featuring Greek Revival architecture and includes residential buildings, stores, mills, and churches at 171 meters elevation.

General Elisha Boyd established an industrial center in the early 1800s with two mills, a brick-making operation, a cooperage, and a store on his Edgewood Manor plantation.

The district developed a segregated residential area known as Black Row in its southern section, where African American residents established their community after the Civil War.

Visitors can examine multiple preserved structures including Boyd's Store, the Jesse Brilhart Store, the North Music School, and religious buildings throughout the district.

The district maintains its original layout from the 1800s with three stores, six mills, and five churches that served southern Berkeley County's commercial needs.
