About This Project

GroveWood Plantation is a testament to the dedication and craftsmanship involved in historic preservation, transforming a dilapidated antebellum plantation house, originally constructed in 1776, into a stunning residence that honors its storied past. Nestled in Eastover, SC, this ambitious project began in 2005 when the property was assessed as an uninsurable fire hazard, teetering on the brink of collapse. Fred Quattlebaum envisioned this house as his dream home, and with a budget ranging between $200,001 and $500,000, the restoration commenced. The scope of the project was extensive, addressing severe structural damage that rendered much of the original framework weak and compromised. Every aspect of the restoration required meticulous attention to detail, from the replacement of rotten wood to the incorporation of innovative engineering solutions. The use of robust timber framing, including impressive 12"x14"x30' monster beams, ensured that the new structure would not only support the weight of history but also provide a safe, enduring home for future generations. The craftsmanship displayed throughout the renovation highlights not only the skill of the workers but also the beauty of ancient woodworking techniques, which were preserved and celebrated in the final design. The exterior of GroveWood Plantation has been thoughtfully restored to reflect its historical significance while integrating modern elements that enhance its functionality. The transitional design seamlessly blends traditional aesthetics with contemporary comfort, creating an inviting atmosphere that pays homage to its rich heritage. This project is not just about preservation; it is about breathing new life into a piece of history, making it suitable for modern family living. The outcome is a remarkable fusion of past and present, where the echoes of history resonate through beautifully crafted spaces, inviting all who enter to experience the charm and grandeur of this iconic plantation home.
