1836 Fonti Flora Plantation in Blair, SC:

Front of Blair Plantation

Fonti Flora (Fountains, Flowers) built around 1836 prior to the War Between the States by Dr. George Butler Pearson, whose ancestors were among Fairfield's earliest and most influential citizens. Sherman's soldiers looted the house in 1865. Charred wainscoting in one room is a reminder of their visit. Home is now owned by Mrs. George Tomlin, a descendant of Dr. Pearson. Excerpt from the diary of George Pearson's daughter Elizabeth may be viewed here.
