Beaufort, South Carolina, USA. The Joseph Johnson House was completed in 1861. Occupying a full block of the town, with 79 windows, its 12,000 square feet of floor space gives it plenty of room for a large family. Because Beaufort was held by the Union Army during the Civil War, this house was used as a hospital. After the war, Dr. Johnson reacquired the house by paying the $2,000 in back taxes. Surrounded by azaleas and camellias, it is partially hidden by the very old Live Oak. Enjoy the southern aristocratic charm!
