Description and Narrative:
Point of Pines Plantation Slave Cabin, Point of Pines Rd., Edisto Island The Point of Pines Plantation Slave Cabin is one of the few remaining slave dwellings on Edisto Island. The cabin dates from the first half of the nineteenth century and was once part of a slave street on a sea island cotton plantation. Most of the other cabins in the row did not survive past the 1930s and 1940s. The antebellum owner of the cabin has not been documented. The slave cabin is a one-story, rectangular, weatherboard clad building with a side gable roof which also acts as the overhanging porch roof. There is a single, exterior brick chimney on the west elevation. A rear, shed appendage has been added and the entire building rests on a low brick-pier foundation. Listed in the National Register November 28, 1986. The Point of Pines Plantation Slave Cabin is no longer extant. Removed from the National Register October 23, 2013.
