Architectural Style: Colonial
Middleburg Plantation house was first constructed in 1699 by Benjamin Simons, a French Huguenot. The original wood-frame building is still standing to this day, which makes it the oldest wood-frame building in South Carolina.
The plan of the house became what is known as a precusor for the typical Charleston single house, where each floor has three rooms. The plantation home was register as a historical landmark back in 1970. The property has been passed down for centuries and still remains in the hands of Simon's descendants.
