In South Carolina, we love being different. Weird roadside attractions have a way of working their way into our hearts. From the giant peach on I-85 in Gaffney to the King Kong high above a building in Myrtle Beach, and every weird roadside attraction in between, you’ve undoubtedly come to love the oddball stuff you see in South Carolina. Take a look at these weird “houses” in the Palmetto State.
- Sullivans Island
Flickr/Brian Ogilvie The iconic “round house” on Sullivan’s Island looks like something from another planet. It was designed to be hurricane tough.
- Myrtle Beach
Flickr/Design Folly The “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” star in Myrtle Beach is a headturner with its stable-like appearance.
- Laurens
Flickr/Martin LaBar The intricate details and turrents on this Laurens home are amazing.
- Aiken, S Boundary
Flickr/carlfbagge While not exactly odd, this house along Aiken’s South Boundary seen from this angle is certainly different from all the others!
- Sullivans Island, former church
Flickr/army.arch Adam Mugdock Castle on Sullivans Island has had many lives, including as a church, an event hall and a private residence. According to their website it’s currently for lease for no less than 28 days at a time.
- Charleston
Flickr/Wally Gobetz The privy at Drayton Hall in Charleston is primitive, but you can’t deny this outhouse is an odd “house.”
- Rural SC
Flickr/That Guy DouG This old house perched on top of a bluff is a look back to simpler times.
- Spartanburg
Flickr/Ken Lane This cutie is a show stopper along Lake William C Bowen in Spartanburg.
- Near Longcreek
Flickr/Let Ideas Compete This head-turner near Longcreek was probably being used for storage at the point the photo was taken.
- Lake Keowee
Flickr/Let Ideas Compete This castle-like home on Lake Keowee is the oddball of the lake.
- Yemassee, Auldbrass Plantation
TripAdvisor/FLLW The only plantation home Frank Lloyd Wright ever designed is in South Carolina. This home is famous for another reason. Wright designed it so the walls would have no square (90-degree) corners.
