Joseph Blyth Allston House (Pawley House)

This house stands on land owned by R. F. W. Allston, governor of SC 1856-58. His nephew Joseph Blyth Allston obtained the land in 1866 and it is thought he then moved this circa 1800 house onto his property. After Hurricane Hugo struck SC in 1989, the house was extensively altered and placed on a higher foundation. Mortise and tennon joints with pegs can still be seen under the house.

Marker is on State Road S-22-10, on the left when traveling south.
