SC Picture Project / Barnwell County / Mathis House

Charles Mathis built this home in Blackville in 1889. Mathis, a successful planter, was known for experimenting with horticulture. He is credited with bringing cantaloupes to South Carolina. The home’s brick cellar is thought to have been used to store Mathis’s harvests and other perishables.

  1. I was so excited to find this. My husband is Victor King Mathis 2nd Great Grandson to Charles H. Mathis. Are we able to see this house? We would make plans to visit this beautiful house.

    • Hello, it’s a private residence but it can be viewed from the road or you could try to get in contact with the owner to seek permission to visit. What a great family connection!
