Description:

Sepia photograph of the columns (all intact) at the site of Millwood Plantation. Some are overgrown with ivy. There is a older man standing in front of the columns, dressed in a dark suit and hat, [Possibly Wade Hampton III]. Handwritten on reverse reads, "Millwood front view."

Millwood Plantation was owned by Colonel Wade Hampton II and his wife Ann Fitzsimmons Hampton and was the boyhood home to their son, Wade Hampton III. The ruins of the house can still be seen across from Target on Garner's Ferry Road in Columbia, South Carolina.
