Review:

Millford Historic Site is located west of Pinewood, South Carolina in the High Hills of Santee region. The house is considered one of the best examples of Greek revival style of residential architecture in the States. It was built in 1841 on 712 acres for John L. Manning and his wife. Located in a remote location difficult to access, the house is surprisingly imposing, with six massive carved Corinthian columns on granite bases. The walls are two feet thick and made of brick. Beautifully restored, the mansion is surrounded by an extensive garden with live oaks, cedars, pines, and magnolias dripping with Spanish moss. The last owner, Richard Hampton Jenrette, restored the house to its former glory in 1992 and donated it in 2008 to the Classical American Homes Preservation Trust. The mansion is decorated with original Duncan Phyfe furniture and precious artworks and is open to the public. The house is recognized as a National Historic Landmark.
