The former summer home of Governor R. F. W. Allston appears on an 1846 plat of the Allston’s land, which at one time totaled 30 acres. Allston also built the South Causeway, just visible in this photo taken when the Atlantic Coast Lumber Company owned the house and 20 acres. Purchased in 1899 for use by ACL employees, the Allston house stands next to a second structure added to the north by ACL. Both were used to house company employees.
Sheep graze beneath a live oak tree at Chicora Wood plantation. The plantation sits along the Pee Dee river in Georgetown County and was home to Robert F. W. Allston (1801-1864) and his family. Many of the original outbuildings are still standing today.
