Ward House

History
7
This house, one of the oldest on Pawleys, was reputedly moved to this site after 1858. It stands on land once owned by area rice planter Joshua J. Ward (1800–1853), who was Lt. Gov. of SC from 1850 to 1852. The house has hand-hewn sills and joists and mortise-and-tenon joints. It remained in the Ward family until 1912, when it was sold to Cornelia C. Ehrich, who named it Liberty Lodge. Ownership remains in this family.
