The Craig House, located on South Carolina Highway 185 near Lancaster, South Carolina, is a historic rural farmhouse associated with the Craig family, whose roots in the Waxhaws region date to 1772. Although commonly dated circa 1860 in historic listings, the house is believed to have been originally constructed by Nathaniel Craig around 1825, making it an important surviving example of early nineteenth-century domestic architecture in Lancaster County. The surrounding Craig Farm once encompassed more than 1,000 acres and reflects the agricultural heritage and settlement patterns of the region. The property was occupied by Union troops during the Civil War in April 1865 and has remained associated with the Craig family for generations.

The house is a two-story, originally L-shaped, frame dwelling clad in weatherboard siding and supported by a brick-pier foundation. Its historic form features a prominent front porch and a second-story balcony, while the original Federal-style farmhouse was substantially enlarged in 1901 with a Victorian front addition commissioned by John Edgar and Amanda Drennan Craig. Later rear and side additions reflect the property’s continued evolution as a family residence. Recognized for its architectural significance and association with Lancaster County’s agricultural history, Craig House was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on February 16, 1990.
