Ashley Hall Plantation is a historic plantation complex located on the Ashley River near West Ashley, Charleston County, South Carolina. The plantation was established in the early 1670s by Stephen Bull. The property includes a small tabby-walled house (c. 1675) with a 20th-century second story addition, the ruins of the Georgian plantation house (1704) which was burned in 1865 to prevent its destruction by Union forces, a monument to the second Governor William Bull (c. 1791), two prehistoric Indian archaeological sites, and two 18th century well sites associated with the plantation. The tabby house is considered one of the oldest standing houses in the state.[2][3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.[1]
