点评:Drayton Hall, which was built on the Ashley River, 12 miles northwest of Charleston, South Carolina, between 1748 and 1752, is the nation's finest and earliest example of fully executed Palladian architecture and its double portico is acclaimed as the first of its kind in the world. Located at 3380 Ashley River Road, it is the oldest unrestored plantation house in America still open to the public. It has been described as "the most significant, undisturbed historic landscape in America." Other features include a post-Civil War African-American tenant house and one of the oldest documented African-American cemeteries in the nation still in use. Historically, it is one of only three plantations near Charleston to survive both the American Revolutionary War and the Civil War. Open from 9 to 5 Wednesday through Monday, the main house remains in nearly original condition, allowing visitors to see the beauty of the original architectural designs. A National Historic Landmark, Drayton Hall was constructed with 360,000 hand-made bricks. The main house is a two-story structure capped by a double-hipped roof. The first floor consists of a four-room plan situated on a high English basement. Most rooms are laid in full wood paneling, painted in a seafoam green color with delicate carvings, elegant mantelpieces and classical cornices. The west-facing side and the "land side" of the house feature superimposed Doric and Ionic columns supporting a projected two-story portico. Also note the brick privy that was built to accommodate seven people and the massive hearth in the center of the basement kitchen on which slaves cooked all the meals. The tour guide shares stories about the slaves who worked on the plantation. The Drayton family enslaved 45 to 60 people at a given time. At least 500 individuals were enslaved at Drayton Hall between 1778 and 1860. It all makes for a very educational experience.
