City Directories and History: The Main house at the Pine Island plantation on St. Helena Island.
Pine Island is a seventy-seven acre island, roughly triangular in shape, located in the northeast quadrant of the St. Helena Island Complex. The Pine Island Plantation Complex is located at the southern end of the island. The complex includes a main house (c. 1904), cottage (c. 1915), tool shed/doghouse (c. 1904), barn (c. 1936), and pump house (c. 1928). An automobile garage (c. 1928) is located at the southwest end of the causeway (c. 1904) leading to the Pine Island Plantation Complex and both are contributing properties. Included on the plantation grounds are hedges planted as borders for what appears to be planned riding paths. The kitchen was originally twenty feet from the main house and burned in 1925 causing some damage to a corner of the main house. The main house is stylistically similar to the American Foursquare vernacular form. The two-story frame structure was built on an existing tabby foundation. The exterior walls are covered with wood shingles. A two-story porch extends across the main (east) facade. One end bay of the second level of the porch has been enclosed. A one-story polygonal bay extends from the south facade. NR File Data / SC Dept. of Archives and History
