General:
Originally built in 1818, the Hampton-Preston House has been restored to reflect the years 1835-1855. Likewise, the gardens have been restored to reflect the ante-bellum period. During the 19th century the garden was described as one of the most extensive and elaborate town gardens in the United States, and included rare plants, shrubs, trees, fountains, and arbors. Plantings included magnolias and cedars. Destroyed in the 1940s, the garden was restored in the 1980s; landscape architect Hugh Dargan spent three years on the project. Plant material known to have been used during the residency of Mary Cantey Hampton in the 19th century dominates the landscape.

Scope and Contents:
The folder includes a worksheet and abbreviated garden plan.
General:
This two-acre garden site is on the grounds of the old Heathwood Hall mansion, which later became a school. The neighborhood was planted in native red and whte oaks that have matured to give interesting architectural structure to the area. The garden was planted in 1948 by the first owners of the house, Mr. and Mrs. Jefferson Davis Hunt. Their basic design continues today. The foundation planting was laid out as well as the terraces and other beds. At that time it was primarily an azalea, flowering tree, and camellia garden with paths and two center beds forming a figure eight as the focal point. The garden was enclosed by extensive decorative wrought iron fencing. Mr. and Mrs. William J. Murray returned to Columbia, their former home, in 1960, and bought the house. In 1961 George S. Betsill, a gifted landscape architect, who went on to a long career with the prestigious landscape architectural firm of Innocenti and Webel, redesigned paths and center beds. Mrs. Murray added more azaleas, camellias, a selection of bulbs, and a rose garden. She and Betsill also cut in shady paths edged by mountain laurel and hedges of hydrangeas. Mrs. Murray collected outdoor statuary that is displayed throughout the garden. Following Mrs. Murray's death at age 99 the property passed to the current owners, who renovated existing plantings which had become neglected and added significantly to the plants while retaining the original design. In 1993 a massive oak tree's fall during a storm created the opportunity for a sunny garden along the once shady paths. This is now a butterfly garden filled with herbaceous perennials designed to attract wildlife. There is a strong focus on old roses, which are planted throughout the entire garden, and which have been rooted mostly by the owner. There is also a woodland garden filled with many natives and wildflowers.
Persons associated with the garden include: Mr. and Mrs. Jefferson Davis Hunt (former owners, 1948-1956); Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Blalock (former owners, 1956-1960); Mr. and Mrs. William J. Murray (former owners, 1960-1990); and George S. Betsill (landscape architect, 1961).
