This Plantation Plain house is likely unique in Evans County. With its front porch closed in for additional rooms, it represents a utilitarian variation for this common style. It was the home of Simon Johnson Brewton (1819-1865). Brewton was a prominent citizen of the area who died of smallpox.
My great-great grandfather’s house. Simon’s wife, Susannah Hagan, their son, James Milton (my great grandfather); their grandson, Lannie E. Brewton (my grandfather).
Do you have anymore photos of this wonderful house, side and/or rear?
For the history of this house, see Chapter 6 of “Houses of Heart Pine” by Pharris DeLoach Johnson.
If only I could find a copy…
