Summit Plantation House in Adams Run, South Carolina, USA, was built for William and Amarinthia Wilkinson in 1819 and is a relatively intact example of a modest Federal style plantation house. It is notable as the oldest remaining house in St. Paul’s Parish. The house is a two-story frame building on a tall tabby foundation. The foundation walls are solid under the two-story portion of the house; the one-story portion is supported on brick and tabby piers. The original part of the house is a two-story, central-hall, single pile residence with a braced timber frame. An apparently original one-story shed roofed, two room section is at the rear. The façade is five bays wide with a central entrance. A one-story, shed roofed porch runs across the whole façade. The house has beaded weatherboard siding and a tall gable roof with a metal roof. The hewn timbers, pegged mortise-and-tenon joints, Carpenter brand locks, and sash sawn timbers reflect the state of construction practices in the region at the time. The details of the woodwork, especially the reeded pilasters and sunburst motifs on the mantelpieces, reflect the Federal style.[2] In 1982, two wings were added to the house.[3]

The house was listed in the National Register on July 28, 1983.
