"It is an interesting peep into the past to envisage the homes in which these pioneer peoples and their descendants dwelt. These homes were the expression of their individualities modified by their occupations and means. The social, political and economic significance of these empire builders stands revealed in the homes they builded as well as the taste that prompted the style. "Means were found for overcoming distances, securing material, and workmen were either developed or imported to carry out the design of the desired habitation, while the landscape gardeners were employed to decorate and embellish the neighboring grounds. All of these factors enter into the kind of house and the type of architecture found in lowland and highland of South Carolina."
