William Henry Johnson Scrapbook, Vol. 1

Photograph taken from one of three scrapbooks compiled 1920-1933 by William Henry Johnson containing, among other materials, photographs depicting scenes of the South Carolina Lowcountry with descriptive notes. Volume 1 includes photographs depicting cemeteries, churches, plantations, historic buildings, ruins, landscapes, and the interiors of buildings. The note written on the above photograph reads “Ave. at Parnassus looking from direction of residence.” 

Parnassus Plantation was located in Berkeley County, South Carolina and was the home of Zacharia Villepontoux, who made the bricks for St. Michael’s Church in Charleston. Parnassus Plantation became the home of Dr. Charles Tennant in the 1830s-1840s, and was a very productive plantation up until 1865. Soldiers looted and destroyed the house during the Civil War, and soon after a forest fire fully effaced the gardens and plantation home. Today, the site of the former Parnassus Plantation is part of the Charleston Naval Weapons Station’s POLARIS Missile Facility.
