	Drayton Hall: The Architecture (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		At the time of Drayton Hall's construction in the late 1730s Charleston had entered its golden age, the years of extensive shipping and trade, of a rice-and-indigo culture based on a slave economy that made the port one of the richest in the world.
		Some architectural historians claim that the Palladian country house was merely a natural development in a long tradition of English domestic architecture that was defined by rooms symmetrically arranged around a great hall and that displayed a penchant for classical decoration.
		Archaeology at Drayton Hall has explored and will continue to explore such architectural features as the flankers and the solar-heated orangerie, built in either 1741 or 1747 to protect citrus trees during cold spells.

		In this spirit, he designed the University campus by looking to architectural sources in the past, not to duplicate or reconstruct them, but to build upon their principles and to adapt them to the spirit and requirements of his day.
