Rip Raps Plantation, also known as the James McBride Dabbs House, is a historic plantation house and national historic district located near Sumter, Sumter County, South Carolina. It encompasses four contributing buildings, three contributing sites, and two contributing structures. The house was built in 1858, and is a two-story, frame vernacular Greek Revival dwelling with twin facades. Each facade features a two-story, full width, pedimented portico supported by six paneled piers. Also on the property are a log smokehouse (c. 1830), a two-story carriage house (c. 1830), and a barn. It was the home of James McBride Dabbs, plantation owner, author and leading advocate for social justice and civil rights (1896-1970), and subsequently his son James M. Dabbs, Jr. (1937–2004).[2][3]
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.[1]
