The Montpelier House, also known as the Maverick House or Van Wyck-Maverick House, is a historic plantation home located near Pendleton, South Carolina, along Old Greenville Highway (SC 88). Constructed around 1800 by Samuel Maverick as a summer residence, it became the family’s permanent home by 1810. The house is notable for its Greek Revival architecture, featuring a three-story frame structure with two-story white columns on the front porch. The ground floor includes large rooms with French doors and sidelights, and one room boasts an iron balcony reminiscent of designs found in Charleston or New Orleans. ​

In 1850, the original house was destroyed by fire. It was subsequently rebuilt by Maverick’s daughter, Elizabeth, and her husband, William Van Wyck, on a nearby knoll. The property remained in the Maverick family until it was purchased by Christopher Riggins around 1928. The plantation land has since been subdivided among the Riggins family. ​

The Montpelier House is documented by the Historic American Buildings Survey and is recognized for its architectural and historical significance.Central
