Robert Simmons House, also known as the Willie Simmons House, is a historic home located on Saint Helena Island near Frogmore, Beaufort County, South Carolina. The original section was built about 1910 by farmer Robert Simmons, and subsequently expanded to the south and north. It is a double pen house type on metal piers, with a shed roof porch, supported by wood posts, extending across the façade. It is a rare example of a vernacular architectural form once common to St. Helena Island.[2][3]
It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.[1]
