ANTEBELLUM MANSIONS

About Me

Location: South Carolina, United States

I use the blog format to share digital photographs and scrapbook layouts with my family. My husband, Bob, and I have three sons (two are identical twins), three daughters-in-law, and twin granddaughters. We moved from Las Vegas, Nevada to South Carolina in December 2005 and it was the best thing we ever did.

LOOKAWAY HALL - 1895

NORTH AUGUSTA, SC

MAY 20, 2006

Surprisingly, to us anyway, Lookaway Hall is located right across the street from Rosemary Hall. It just seemed odd that two such grand and magnificant antebellum mansions would be situated so close to one another, and in such a small town as North Augusta.

-----------------------------

James U. Jackson and his brother Walter cut a deck of cards to determine who would build on this lot with a beautiful panoramic view. Walter won and built his home there in 1895. I don't have any other information on this mansion other than it too is now a Bed & Breakfast. Again, we didn't go in, but would like to check it out someday.
