Description
Kingsley Plantation Tabby House by D Hackett
A fifth of a mile from the plantation home of Zephaniah Kingsley are the remains of 25 tabby cabins. Arranged in a semicircle, there were 32 cabins originally, 16 on either side of the road. This area represents the slave community, homes of the men, women, and children who lived and worked on Kingsley Plantation more than 150 years ago. Almost all cabins had tabby brick fireplaces which provided warmth and a place for cooking. Some cabins were larger than others, some had tabby partition walls inside, while others were one room. Most cabins were 20’ by 13’ near the antebellum average.
Tabby is a type of concrete made by burning oyster shells to create lime, then mixing it with water, sand, ash and broken oyster shells. It proved to be sturdy and weatherproof, keeping heat out during the summer while holding in warmth during the winter. Once it hardened, the whole shell tabby was covered with a protective coat of lime putty, making the walls smooth. Tabby was used by early Spanish settlers in present-day North Carolina and Florida, then by British colonists primarily in coastal South Carolina and Georgia.
