STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE

Built in 1714-1716 by Paul de St. Julien on one of three 1,000 acre tracts of land granted in 1688 by the lords Proprietors to his grandfather. Paul named his plantation "Hanover" for the then ruling house of England, to show his appreciation for that country which had "befriended so many Huguenot refugees after the Revocation of Edict of Nantes. Hanover House was moved to Clemson University in the 1940s due to the "building of a hydroelectric plant which would have inundated the house. An understanding of life in Hanover House in the early 18th century was the goal of the Spartanburg Committee of the national Society of Colonial Dames of South Carolina, which directed the restoration. Hanover House was opened on Clemson University Campus June 7f 1962. Anonymous, Hanover House, Clemson Dhlversity. Williams, Henry Lionel and Ottalie K. , A Guide To Old American Houses 1700-1900.
