Pascalis Plantation/Pascalina
Inscription
PASCALIS PLANTATION (Front) Elizabeth Pascalis purchased these 790 acres in 1835, settled here with her son Cyril Ouviere, and brought the orphaned children of her daughter, here, to live. Cyril, a civil engineer, was a resident engineer constructing the Charleston-Hamburg railroad (world's longest when completed in 1833).
In 1834 he helped lay out and survey streets in nearby Aiken. PASCALINA (Reverse) Elizabeth Pascalis willed this house, once know as Pascalina, to her granddaughter, Theodosia Wade, and husband John C. Wade, in 1863. The Wades were living here in February of 1865 when Union general Hugh Judson Kilpatrick used the house as headquarters during the Battle of Aiken.
The house remained in the family until 1944. Erected by Aiken County Historical Society, 1987
