The present Classical Revival plantation house was built in 1901. Julia Peterkin lived there with her planter husband and based many of her novels on the Gullah people of the Low Country. She won a 1929 Pulitzer Prize for her novel Scarlet Sister Mary.[2]

The plantation was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.[1]
