About the Business
Welcome to John Graham Homesite, a historic treasure nestled in the picturesque Upper Coastal region of South Carolina. Located at South Carolina 29569, this remarkable property is steeped in rich history and Southern charm. The centerpiece of this historical site is the Graham-Rouse-Phillips-Williamson House, affectionately known as the House of Eight Gables. Constructed between 1888 and 1890 by John Quincy Graham, this Victorian-style masterpiece boasts over 5,000 square feet of living space, crafted entirely from cypress wood.
The house stands as a testament to the architectural elegance of its time, featuring six intricately designed fireplaces and decorative scrollwork milled locally. The expansive porches invite you to step back in time and imagine the stories of the four families who once called this place home. Spanning over 175 acres today, the property was originally part of a vast 3,000-acre tract granted by King George II in 1739.
The legacy of the Graham family began with John Graham, a Scottish immigrant who settled in the Carolinas in the 18th century. Over the years, the plantation grew to encompass 6,000 acres, supported by the labor of enslaved individuals who lived and worked on the land. Notably, 'Uncle' Steve Floyd, a man who spent much of his life enslaved here, played a crucial role in the plantation's operations and remained a beloved figure in the Graham family history.
The House of Eight Gables, with its unique architectural features, stands out in the Pee Dee River region, reflecting the opulence and ambition of its original builders. While the house is currently unoccupied, it holds the potential to be restored to its former glory, offering a rare opportunity to preserve a significant piece of South Carolina's history.
John Graham Homesite is not just a house; it is a narrative of resilience, family, and the passage of time. We invite you to explore this extraordinary site and imagine the possibilities it holds for the future. Whether you are a history enthusiast, an architecture lover, or someone looking to make a meaningful investment in preserving history, John Graham Homesite welcomes you to become part of its continuing story.
