  • Significance: This Slave Quarter Building is one of two extant quarters at Oakland Plantation. In the mid-nineteenth century there were approximately twenty of these structures. This one is typical and of bousiallage (mud and moss between heavy cypress timbers) construction with weatherboards built circa 1820. The gallery was originally an overhang supported by diagonal braces. This brace construction is extant and was a design detail used on many of the earlier structures at Oakland (other slave quarters, blacksmith shop). The roof was originally cypress shingles which were replaced with sheet metal in the early twentieth century.
