- Enslaved Quarters at Hermitage Plantation, near Savannah, Georgia - The cabins in this photograph were once home to families of enslaved workers on Henry McAlpin's Hermitage Plantation, near Savannah, Georgia.

Enslaved workers built about 50 cabins with this brick--an unusual building material for slave quarters.
