Cassina Point
Cassina Point (also known as the Hopkinson House) was built in 1847 for Carolina Lafayette Seabrook and her husband, James Hopkinson. Carolina Seabrook was the daughter of wealthy Edisto planter William Seabrook. William Seabrook had hosted Gen. Lafayette in 1825 at his nearby home at the time of Carolina's birth. William Seabrook gave Gen. Lafayette the honor of naming the newborn child, and the general selected Carolina (for the girl's birthplace) and Lafayette (after his own name). When Carolina Seabrook married James Hopkinson, they built Cassina Point on the land given to them by William Seabrook.
The house is a large antebellum house and remnant of a sea island cotton plantation. James Hopkinson was a grandson of Francis Hopkinson, a signer of the Declaration of Independence from New Jersey and designer of the American flag. The house was occupied during the Civil War by the Third New Hampshire Regiment. The two-and-one-half story, rectangular plan house has a side-gable roof and a raised, brick basement in Flemish bond. The building is clad in weatherboard other than the pedimented gable ends which uses flushboard siding. There are two massive, interior, brick chimneys that have stuccoed necking and rat-tooth bands. A full-width, five-bay, hipped roof porch extends across the façade elevation supported by plain columns. The interior has marble mantels and door and window surrounds with bull’s-eye cornerblocks. The house was added to the National Register on November 28, 1986.
