The Wedge Plantation,[2] which is also known as The Wedge or the William Lucas House, is a plantation about 5 mi (8 km) east of McClellanville in Charleston County, South Carolina.

[3] In 1929, Mr. and Mrs. Elbridge Chadwick acquired the plantation and restored the house with the assistance of architect Albert Simons.

[8] During the ten-years of his life there, Dominick collected over 25,000 moths and 1,000 butterflies on the plantation.

In the 1970s, The Wedge was purchased by the State of South Carolina for "about $1 million.

"[12] It became the University of South Carolina's International Center for Public Health Research for the study of insect-borne diseases.

[14] The University then leased The Wedge until 2014 for hunting and other uses, including the 2009 Kevin Costner film The New Daughter .

A subsequent attempt to find a buyer using a real estate agent also failed.

The front horseshoe stairs to the porch are granite with an iron railing.

The second floor has French doors with a fanlight transom that open to the railed balcony on the portico.

The main floor has right and left parlors separated by the central hall.

[3] A PBS television show entitled, "The New Home Show" built a modern-day replica of the Wedge Plantation home near Matthews, North Carolina using modern day materials.
