Albion Plantation is a historic estate located near Blackstock in Fairfield County, South Carolina. Constructed around 1840 by Alexander Douglas, a prosperous planter and wagon builder, the plantation stands as a notable example of 19th-century Southern architecture. Douglas’s wealth was considerable for the time; his estate was valued at $76,750 in the 1860 census, a significant sum during that era.

The main house at Albion is a two-story, L-shaped, weatherboarded frame residence featuring classical design elements. Its façade boasts a two-tiered veranda supported by Ionic columns, a plain balustrade, and a simple entablature with triglyphs above the first-story veranda. The second-story veranda columns are cropped, suggesting possible later alterations. Additional architectural features include shuttered windows with fluted surrounds and corner blocks, central entrances with traceried elliptical fanlights and sidelights, and pedimented end gables adorned with block modillions and lunettes flanking the chimneys.

Albion Plantation was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 6, 1984, under reference number 84000592. The property encompasses approximately 129.81 acres of timberland, meadows, creeks, and hills. It has remained within the Douglas family lineage since its construction, with ownership passing through generations.

Today, Albion Plantation serves as an intimate event venue, maintaining its historical charm while accommodating modern functions. The estate’s preservation offers a glimpse into South Carolina’s antebellum past and architectural heritage.
