The William Riley Abbott House, a Greek Revival plantation dwelling near South Mills in Camden County, North Carolina, was constructed around 1850 and exemplifies the wealth extracted from slavery in the antebellum South. The two-story, five-bay frame structure originally reflected Greek Revival aesthetics, though it received a vernacular Colonial Revival portico during the 1920s. The house was built using profits generated by approximately forty enslaved people. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
