Archdale Hall

A Little History...

The original land grant for the Archdale Hall plantation land was issued in 1681, and two structures had been built on the site by 1810. While it survived the Civil War, the house was severely damaged by the earthquake of 1886, and a third structure was subsequently constructed on the site.
It is this third house’s ruins that can be seen on the property today.

Archdale Hall initially produced indigo and rice. The plantation was later leased for phosphate mining and provided trolley access to the Charleston and Summerville Interurban Company in the mid-20th century.

A Vision for the Future

Archdale Hall Beautification

The ACA is working to make the Archdale Hall property we’re entrusted with a more “resident friendly” amenity for Archdale.
Efforts are underway for clearing some surrounding property for benches, picnic tables (we have 2 since 05/2024), a little library (registered) and short walking paths.
The overall vision is to have a welcoming gathering place within our neighborhood that connects us to our history and our natural surroundings.
