NRHP Nomination
Record Number:
S10817722028
Description and Narrative:
The rectory is significant as an intact example of a mid-nineteenth century residence. The simple frame building on high piers is similar to houses used as retreats by lowcountry planters. It is also significant for its association with the summer migrations of the Georgetown County rice planters. The building was constructed c.1850 as a rectory after the original summer chapel of Prince Frederick’s Episcopal Church was built in the pineland village of Plantersville. It served as the rectory for that chapel and the present chapel, which was moved to its present location in 1877 after the original chapel was abandoned. The rectory is a one-and-one-half-story frame building with a clapboard exterior on a raised brick foundation. The standing seam metal roof is gabled, and a one-story engaged porch extends across the façade. The house is basically U-shaped. Listed in the National Register October 3, 1988.
