(Summer-Huggins House) The Pomaria plantation house is considered to have been constructed by John Adam Summer ca. 1825 on the site of an earlier Summer family dwelling. The house combines elements of both Federal and Greek Revival architecture and has been the home of a family whose members have had a significant role in the fields of agriculture and government in Newberry County. The two-story house with full attic is set on a raised foundation. The front façade is characterized by a Federal two-story pedimented portico which projects forward from the central portion of the façade and is flanked at right and left by symmetrical 9/9 fenestration, arranged in two bays. Each story of the portico also has a central doorway with traceried sidelights and transom in the Greek Revival style. Interior features include paneled wainscoting, a pilastered elliptical arch in the central hall, molded cornices, Greek Revival door and window moldings, and Federal mantels and paneled doors. The property also contains an extant collection of original dependencies, which include a log smokehouse, a board and batten privy, and a Carpenter Gothic post office, the first post office in the Dutch Fork. Also, the Pomaria Nurseries were begun on the plantation in 1840 by William Summer, who was a Newberry attorney. He was considered highly knowledgeable in the field of horticulture, introducing rare, imported plant specimens, and in some instances creating new varieties through the grafting process. Listed in the National Register April 24, 1979.
