Wicklow Hall Plantation

Wicklow Hall Plantation is located in Georgetown County, South Carolina. The clapboard house was built in the Greek Revival style in the 1830s. During the mid-nineteenth century it operated as a notable rice plantation and was connected to the socially conspicuous Lowndes family of South Carolina.

Made up of a plantation house and several dependencies, Wicklow Hall demonstrated a mid-19th century plantation complex.  Sometime after 1912 the structure was enlarged by additions to the rear and right facades. [Photo credit: Library of Congress]
