Hi Frost, I can't tell you much about the plantation since it has been about 20 years since I was there. I did not get to see the house but was told there was one. I was there on an archery hunt as a guest. I'm sorry I can't be of any more help. My wife would like to know if you are related to any Parker's in Charleston. She use to work for Dr. Telfair Parker.
