- Description:
- Plum Orchard is one of four mansions constructed on Cumberland Island for the children of Thomas and Lucy Carnegie. Built in 1898 for George Lauder Carnegie and his new wife Margaret Thaw who used the home as their primary winter residence until George passed away in 1921. Soon after George's death, his younger sister Nancy moved in after her marriage to Cumberland Island's doctor, Dr. Marius Johnston, in 1924. The architectural firm of Peabody &Stearns was employed to design Plum Orchard in a Georgian Revival style. Variant names include: Plum Orchard.
