In the 1700s, housing in South Carolina varied significantly based on social status and geography. Wealthy plantation owners typically lived in large, grand homes, often built in a colonial style with expansive porches and gardens, while enslaved individuals and poorer settlers resided in simpler, smaller cabins. Coastal areas saw the construction of tabby homes, made from oyster shells, lime, and sand, while inland settlers built log cabins. The architecture reflected a blend of European influences and local materials, catering to both the climate and available resources.
