Harrietta Plantation, built ca. 1807, accurately represents the lifestyle of 19th century rice planters in South Carolina’s coastal region. Alterations to the structure reflect the economic prosperity of the planters in the years prior to the Civil War and the concern of recent occupants to carry out modernization within the original architectural context. With its raised basement and well-ventilated room arrangement, Harrietta Plantation house is a comfortable mix of Federal and Greek revival motifs adapted to the needs of a moderate and often humid locale.
