Description
After sixty years of neglect following the burning of Middleton Place only two months before the end of the Civil War, and then the Great Earthquake twenty-one years later, the restoration of Middleton Place began in 1925. J. J. Pringle Smith, who was thrice descended from Henry Middleton, had inherited the plantation in 1916, but it was only after the death of his father Henry Augustus Middleton Smith in 1924 that sufficient funds were available to undertake the work.
Pringle Smith and his wife Heningham moved into the surviving south flanker that had been sufficiently restored in 1870 to survive the 1886 earthquake that felled the walls of the main family residence and the north flanker. And, after gradual further restoration, they lived in the south flanker for the rest of their lives, every year from October through April. (middletonplace.org)
