Description
Image is the Frampton Plantation House in Lemassee, South Carolina. The "Frampton House" property was part of an original King's Grant to the Frampton family in the 1700s. In 1865, General Sherman's troops burned the plantation house and all the farm buildings that stood on this site. In 1868, John Frampton rebuilt the present Lowcountry farmhouse and continued to work the land. About 1930, major renovations were made to the old house that included adding indoor plumbing and electrical wiring, and applying the first thin sheet rock or dry wall, replacing the old lath and plaster walls.
In December of 1993, Wymann Boozer, a Columbia developer, donated the "Frampton House" to the Lowcountry Tourism Commission for the creation of the Lowcountry Visitor's Center and Museum thereby assuring restoration of the old farmhouse. The preservation of the magnificent old oaks that frame the building and the Civil War earthworks in the backyard (erected by Robert E. Lee's troops in defense of the important railroad supply line for the Confederacy from Savannah to Charleston) were also guaranteed.
