Orange Grove, also known as the Gaillard-Colclough House, is an historic 39.9acres plantation and its plantation house at Gaillard's Crossroads, (intersection of Peach Orchard Road and Black River Road), north of Dalzell, South Carolina.[1] [2] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 19, 1993.

Originally built in 1851 in a South Carolina Lowcountry vernacular style of architecture, the house was seriously damaged by a tornado on April 30, 1924, and was rebuilt so that it now appears as a "raised cottage with a Prairie or Craftsman roof."[1] [2]

The plantation house's main axis runs NW-SE, with the façade on the SE face.[3]
