Means House (Jonesville, South Carolina)
Situated on an isolated 20 acres (8.1 ha) in Union County, South Carolina, the 2,650-square-foot (246 m) Means House is an unrestored federal treasure. Built in 1821, the Means House is an example of Georgian architecture. The house features rare Flemish bonded brick and Federal period woodwork.

The house and property have been listed with the Palmetto Trust for Historic Places as being for sale for $86,798.
