The McLeod plantation house is located on Country Club Dr. on James Island, South Carolina, near the intersection of Folly and Maybank Roads. The house standing on the land today was constructed in 1854 in the Greek Revival style. The current facade, altered during renovations in the 1930's is in the Colonial Revival style, although the rear facade of the house retains its Greek Revival features. Also on the property are six slave cabins, a detached kitchen, and a "garage", which dates from the 1790's. The home was occupied as offices by the Freedman's Bureau, and at one point, nearly 10,000 newly-freed slaves camped out on the plantation's lands. The home was occupied by the McLeod family until the 1980's, and is now owned by the American College of the Building Arts.
