A historic mansion in Charleston County stands as ⁣a testament to the craftsmanship⁣ of enslaved individuals. These talented people hand-made the bricks used⁤ to construct the two-and-a-half story building.

The Boone family originally owned the mansion until 1811. The building features a bull’s-eye window, a connecting dining room and‌ kitchen, and a fireplace complete with built-in bookshelves.
