The Lafayette House | History of SC Slide Collection

The Lafayette House in Cheraw is in the Adam style, an adaptation of the early Classical Revival. Built in 1823 by Dr. William Ellerbe, it was the site of a public reception for the Revolutionary War hero General Marquis de Lafayette on his return visit to the United States in 1825. It was later remodeled in 1852.
