- Enslaved Quarters at Hermitage Plantation, near Savannah, Georgia, circa 1930 - The cabin in this photograph was once home to a family of enslaved workers on Henry McAlpin's Hermitage Plantation, near Savannah, Georgia. From the early-to-mid-1800s, these workers made McAlpin's plantation prosper by producing barrels, lumber, and cast-iron products, and growing rice--but mostly by making bricks at the plantation's brickworks. Enslaved workers built about 50 cabins with this brick--an unusual building material for slave quarters.

- "Old Slave Huts, The Hermitage, Savannah, Ga." - Hundreds of enslaved people worked on the Hermitage Plantation near Savannah, Georgia, before the Civil War. They cultivated rice, raised livestock, made bricks, and operated a sawmill and foundry. After the war, depictions of the "old slave huts" and the now-freed people who lived in them appealed to tourists seeking the last vestiges of the "Old South" and intent on romanticizing times of enslavement.
