Marsh-Johnson House, also known as Robert Johnson House, is a historic home located near Saluda, Saluda County, South Carolina. It was built about 1817, and is a two-story, log farmhouse sheathed in weatherboard. The house sits on a brick foundation and has a one-story, shed-roofed porch. It is considered one of the earliest and intact log residences in South Carolina.[1] [2] The house rests on massive brick piers, which are laid in Flemish bond.[3] A one-story, shed-roofed porch with wooden foundation piers and four rough hewn tree trunks supporting the roof spans the façade.[3] Many of the windows retain their batten shutters.[3]
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
The Saluda County Historical Society owns the house and is working to restore it for future use as a historic house museum.
