ROGER PINCKNEY BUILT the Quinby house in the late eighteenth century and finely outfitted it with the Federal decorations of the time—marhelized baseboards, dentil cornices, a curving mahogany banister, and Adamesque mantels among them. In 1954, Mary Huguenin moved the house four miles downriver through the forest to its current location on Halidon Hill, originally part of neighboring Middleburg Plantation, site of South Carolina’s oldest home.
