Wicklow Hall is a historic residence constructed in the Southern United States located near Georgetown, Georgetown County, South Carolina. The complex includes the house and several dependencies. Wicklow Hall is a two-story, Greek Revival style clapboard structure on a low brick foundation. The main portion of the structure was around 1850 [2] and enlarged by additions after 1912. Also on the property are a kitchen, corn crib, carriage house, and a playhouse, once believed to be a schoolhouse. [2] Wicklow was a rice plantation during the mid-1800s, and associated with the prominent Lowndes family of South Carolina. [3] [4] The rice fields of Wicklow, some 380 to 480 acres, are on the delta between the North and South Santee rivers, but the house is situated on a separate strip of land altogether. [2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. [1]
