Fort Hill
The plantation home of John C. Calhoun and Thomas Green Clemson, Fort Hill stands today in the midst of Clemson University. This National Historic Landmark is largely intact due to Calhoun's occupancy and is both a symbolic focus and active museum that was in great need of restoration and repairs.
A master plan was first developed which included analysis of archival and physical evidence for restoration to ca. 1827-1850, for both the landscape and the buildings. The first phase of construction was completed in the spring of 2002 and included structural stabilization,
exterior restoration, and new mechanical systems. A second phase of construction was completed in 2003 and includes interior historic finishes and wallpapers that will reflect the influential life of Calhoun, including reproductions of original patterns found at Fort Hill. Total construction costs were $1,700,000.
