History
In 1840, 500 acres of land was taken from the Peach Point Plantation to create the Durazno Plantation.[3] "Durazno" is Spanish for peach. The new plantation was given to William Joel Bryan (1815–1903) as dowry when he married Lavinia Perry in 1840.[3][4][5] He grew cotton and raised cattle.[6][7] After his death, it was inherited by his son Samuel Irwin Bryan, who bequeathed half to his daughter Louella Bryan Brutrus, half to his nephew, Samuel Irwin Stratton.[3]
It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places listings since September 2, 1980.[2]
