Lemuel Boozer House, also known as the Boozer-Harmon House, is a historic home located in the town of Lexington in Lexington County, South Carolina. The home belonged to lawyer, politician, and judge Lemuel Boozer (1809-1870). It was built about 1828–1830 and is a one-story clapboard dwelling on a raised basement. It has a low-pitch gable roof and a tall basement of brick piers. A rear ell and wing were added in the 1840s.[1] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977. It is one of the oldest structures in the town of Lexington.
Lemuel Boozer was a lawyer who served as state representative, state senator, and lieutenant governor of South Carolina of South Carolina, and as a state circuit judge. Although Boozer was a slave owner, he did not support the Confederacy and helped Union soldiers escape from POW Camps.[2] Boozer also started a school on the rear of this property for freed slaves after the end of the Civil War.[3]
