This mansion was built for John Drayton (c. 1715-1779) after he bought the property in the late 1730's. Drayton was the third son in his family, who owned present day Magnolia Plantation. Drayton knew he was unlikely to inherit his birth home and created this 350 acre elite plantation "palace and gardens". This home is maintained by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
