Inscription. Kilburnie was built in the late Federal style by dentist Joseph Lee in 1826 on N. White St. in Lancaster, SC. Kilburnie's second owner Ann B. Crawford transformed the house into a Greek revival mansion in 1834, giving it the style of Robert Mills' splendid courthouse nearby and naming it after the Crawford's native hometown in Scotland. Kilburnie was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, being described as "outstanding in its style and grace." Following years of neglect and faced with demolition, Kilburnie was moved to Craig Farm and restored by Johannes L. M. Tromp and John E. Craig in 1999, beginning operation as a historic inn on May 21, 2000.
