Drayton Hall

Drayton hall is considered one of the finest examples of Georgian Palladian architecture in the United States. Its grounds represent one of the most significant, undisturbed historic landscapes in America. Construction of the house was begun in 1739 by John Drayton, and 7 generations of the Drayton Family lived there until 1974, when the family transferred the property to the National Trust for Historic Preservation. A rare survival, the house had only a few coats of paint in its history and was never upgraded with plumbing or electricity. The National Trust interprets the history and architecture of the house and the lives here for more than 300 years.   Come Join the Facebook page at Whispers of Charleston : https: [https://www.facebook.com/share/1Kwy2wNjtH/]//www.facebook.com/share/1Kwy2wNjtH/ [https://www.facebook.com/share/1Kwy2wNjtH/]  Follow the Instagram page : https://www.instagram.com/whispers_of_charleston?utm_source=qr&igsh=MXY2dnNma3NycHF0ZQ== [https://www.instagram.com/whispers_of_charleston?utm_source=qr&igsh=MXY2dnNma3NycHF0ZQ==]  Come Join the Facebook Group : https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1HTUeeqqK4/ [https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1HTUeeqqK4/]  Subscribe, Like, and Share the videos: www.youtube.com/@WhispersofCharleston [http://www.youtube.com/@WhispersofCharleston]  Join the Patreon Family : https://patreon.com/CharlestonWhispers?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink [https://patreon.com/CharlestonWhispers?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink]
