HISTORIC LANDMARK:
Before Fort Hill, the antebellum plantation of John C. Calhoun, South Carolina’s pre-eminent 19th century statesman, there was four-room Clergy Hall. Originally built in 1803, Clergy Hall served as the manse or parsonage for nearby Hopewell-Keowee Church, now known as Old Stone Presbyterian Church. Next, Floride Bonneau Colhoun, John C. Calhoun’s mother-in-law, purchased the 600 acre property; U.S. Vice President Calhoun’s family called the expanded structure Fort Hill, starting in 1830, after Revolutionary War Fort Rutledge.

In total, ten rooms were added to the structure and additional acreage was purchased by John C. Calhoun; however, he was not the owner until 1836, after the death of his mother-in-law. When John C. died in 1850, his wife Floride became the sole owner of the Fort Hill home and 1,341 acres of land. When she passed in 1866, portions of the property then went to their daughter and sole surviving child, Anna Maria Calhoun, who had married Thomas Green Clemson in 1838. The Clemsons’ daughter, Floride Elizabeth, also inherited a portion. Tragically, Anna Calhoun Clemson did not take ownership of land until her two surviving children had already passed.

Anna Maria Calhoun Clemson willed her three-fourths share of Fort Hill to her husband, Thomas Clemson, with the caveat that he must die with a will. At Anna’s death in 1875, Thomas worked with two attorneys, James Rion and Richard Wright Simpson, to create his bequest that became Clemson University. If he had not, the granddaughter Floride Isabella Lee would have inherited the entire property in accordance with Anna Clemson’s will.

Through a succession of Calhoun-Clemson women, Fort Hill would come into Thomas Green Clemson’s possession. In 1888, Clemson bequeathed three-fourths of the Fort Hill plantation and $80,000 to the state of South Carolina.
