NORTHWEST CHARLESTON. This estate, built between 1738 and 1742, is considered one of the finest examples of Georgian-Palladian architecture in the United States. It was also the only plantation in the area not destroyed during the Civil War. Its salvation was gained when owner John Drayton informed Union troops that his home was being used as a smallpox hospital. It was thus spared from damage or destruction.
