The Williams Place is a rural agricultural and residential complex developed between ca. 1839 and ca. 1850 by a farmer, Robert Roger Williams. The property includes ten log-wall buildings and four other buildings and structures associated with the farm. The complex is representative of the diverse aspects of a small, nineteenth century farm in the South Carolina upcountry. The Williams Place is also the most intact collection of log buildings that have been identified in the state. The absence of later development or modernization, together with the heavily forested surroundings and the relative inaccessibility of the area, have provided for an extraordinary degree of historical integrity in the complex. The various log buildings include a small house, a large house, a kitchen, a smokehouse, a smithy, a well, two cribs, a privy, a ruined house, a log barn, a frame barn, a stable and a dam. Those buildings and structures associated with food storage and preparation are located in a close group around the main house. Listed in the National Register November 10, 1982.
