Remarkable Civil War-Era Property with Documented Local History
Set on 1.17 peaceful acres in Beech Island, South Carolina, this extraordinary historic property offers a rare opportunity to own a home with roots dating back to the Civil War era. Originally constructed around 1861 by a Northern carpenter named Mr. Chambers as a smokehouse for Dr. Randolph Bradford, the structure later became a remarkable example of preservation and adaptive reuse.
Following the war, the building was carefully relocated piece by piece from swamp land to higher ground, ensuring the craftsmanship and materials survived for future generations. In 1952, Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Dunbar transformed the original smokehouse into a residence, thoughtfully expanding the structure while preserving its historic integrity.
Today, the home retains many of its nineteenth-century architectural elements, offering authentic character rarely found in modern properties.
