Synopsis

Explore a Historic Hampton Plantation kitchen building through architecture and archaeology.

A concise study partners a survey with architectural drawings to illuminate how this outbuilding worked and how its massive chimney tied multiple rooms together.

This report from the South Carolina State Park Service analyzes the kitchen complex beside the plantation mansion. It covers exterior and interior features, historical changes, and the way the brick foundation and chimney structure reflect past building practices. Rich with measurements, room designations, and photographic references, it situates the kitchen within plantation life and the region’s architectural history.

• A clear description of exterior and interior elements, from portico to door framing and window replacement.
• An in-depth look at the multi-fireplace chimney, including an oven and suspended hearths.
• Floor plans and wall sections that reveal how spaces were used, altered, and interpreted over time.
• Context about the site location, historical photos, and notes from archaeological investigations.

Ideal for readers interested in architectural history, plantation archaeology, and historical preservation.
