![]() | Southwest elevation. Measured drawing delineated by Ken Breuer, 1974. (Reproduction Number: HABS SC-377, sheet 7/14 of 15; negative number LC-USZA1-1334). Begun in 1738 for John Drayton, a prominent official and businessman in colonial South Carolina, Drayton Hall is one of the finest and best-preserved Georgian Palladian houses in the nation. Known for its symmetrical design, two-story portico (porch), and exquisite interior decorative wood and plasterwork, the house was the only plantation house on the west bank of the Ashley River not to be burned during the Civil War. Still without running water, central heat, or electricity, Drayton Hall is now a National Trust historic site.
