Charlton Hall Plantation House is a historic plantation house located near Hickory Tavern, Laurens County, South Carolina. It was built about 1847, and is a two-story, three bay brick residence in the Greek Revival style. It has a low hipped roof. Also on the property are a contributing blacksmith shop/shed, a smokehouse, and a frame shed. It was the home of George Washington Sullivan, Sr., (1809–1887), a prominent farmer and public servant of Laurens District before, during, and after the American Civil War.[2][3]
The 1849 last will and testament of Joseph Sullivan bequeathed “one tract of land, suppose [sic] to contain four hundred acres including the Hickory Tavern” to his minor son, Milton A. Sullivan. George W. Sullivan was named as the trustee “until my son Milton A arrives of age.”[4]
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.[1]
