Front: The Frederick Nance House-Oak Grove, is an early nineteenth-century Classical Revival home, distinct from other early architecture in Newberry for its scale and masonry construction. The home was built on land owned by Frederick Nance (1770-1840), a businessman, planter, and well-respected public official. Appointed Newberry’s Clerk of Court in 1794, Nance also served as S.C. Lt. Governor 1808-10 and State Senator 1812-19. Reverse: Although the house now sits on just under two acres, it was once the center of a substantial plantation that was carved from a 785-acre land grant secured by Nance in 1813. The design of the home has been attributed to Robert Mills, who was born in Charleston in 1781 and was preeminent among the first generation of native-born American architects. The property was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.
