Magnolia HallLocation: Hagood, South Carolina Built: 1821 Architectural style: Greek Revival Governing body: Private NRHP Reference#: 99000101
[1]Added to NRHP: September 2, 1999 Magnolia Hall is an historic plantation located in the High Hills of Santee at 2025 Horatio-Hagood Road, Hagood, South Carolina in the United States. Its Greek Revival plantation house was built in 1821 by its owner Isaac Barnes and added onto in 1855 and 1860 by Dr. Swepson Saunders, who had bought the property in 1853.
Magnolia Hall was threatened with destruction by Union troops in April, 1865, under the command of Brigadier General Edward E. Potter, but apparently was saved by the actions of Dr. Saunder's slave cook in feeding the troops when they appeared. Dr. Saunders, who apparently had taken refuge somewhere between Magnolia Hall and Stateburg, wrote to his wife that he had seen the burning houses in Stateburg and had expected to see their own house burning.[2]
On September 2, 1999, Magnolia Hall was added to the National Register of Historic Places. It is also known as the Dr. Swepson Saunders House.
