Richmond Plantation, also known as Girl Scout Plantation, is a national historic district located near Cordesville, Berkeley County, South Carolina. It was built about 1927, and includes a manor house and outbuildings constructed as a hunting lodge for George A. Ellis, a prominent New York financier and co-founder of E. F. Hutton & Co.. The manor house is a 1 1/2-story, asymmetrical brick building with a rectangular central mass, and two single story wings. The manor house is an example of an American interpretation of the Shavian Manor Style, a style defined by the neo-medieval work of the English architect Richard Norman Shaw. Also on the property are four outbuildings also the Shavian Manorial Style: a carriage house, dog house, guest house and gate house, are also located on the property. The property also includes a one-story log house, three one-story frame cabins, a cemetery and archaeological remains of the original 18th and 19th century rice plantation. In 1963 the property was sold to the Low Country Girl Scout Council, who maintains it as a camp.
