Hanover House is a French Huguenot house built in 1714-1716. The house is also known as the St. Julien-Ravenel House. It was constructed in the South Carolina Low Country in the present Berkeley County. When Lake Moultrie was created in the 1940s, the house was moved to the Clemson University campus in Pickens County.

History

Hanover House was built by Paul de St. Julien, a French Huguenot, on land that was a 1688 grant to his grandfather by the Lords Proprietors. The house is a 1½-story cypress wood house with a gambrel roof. It has brick chimneys on either end of the house. There are fireplaces on both the first and second floor. Engraved on a stucco band at the top of one of the chimneys is "PEU À PEU" for the French proverb "Peu à peu l'oiseau fait son nid," which is "Little by little, the bird builds his nest." St. Julien named the house Hanover in honor of the House of Hanover that had ascended the throne of the Kingdom of Great Britain, [Stoney, Samuel Gaillard, "Plantations of the Carolina Low Country", 2nd ed., Carolina Art Association, Charleston, SC, pp. 51, 108-109, 1938.] "to show his appreciation for that country which had befriended so many Huguenot refugees after the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes."

St. Julien's daughter married Henry Ravenel. The house remained in the family for nearly 200 years.

. The house is furnished with period reproductions and donations by the Ravenel family [ [http://www.cityofclemson.org/?CONTEXT=art&cat=27&art=46&BISKIT=3604941963 City of Clemson webpage on the Hanover House] ]
