Open Access

Abstract

In South Carolina, state agencies are responsible for a wonderfully diverse array of historic properties ranging from prehistoric archaeological sites to antebellum plantation houses to significant examples of early-twentieth-century architecture. In 1992 the South Carolina General Assembly approved legislation to encourage the preservation of historic properties owned and leased by the State. The law establishes a preservation review process for projects involving historic buildings, structures, districts, and archaeological sites managed by the state of South Carolina that are listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
