Abstract
Extensive structural rehabilitation is proposed for the architectural site commonly known as Elijah’s House (although correctly identified as Eliga’s House), situated at the northern end of 31BW787**7 on Orton Plantation. This site, within the National Register boundaries for Orton Plantation and identified as a contributing resource, is a series of 19th and early 20th century domestic sites. Although the extant historic structure was the only one remaining by 1935, there were earlier a series of five structures on the edge of the rice fields, thought to represent a late antebellum slave settlement.
