This community center, the first in Darlington County, was built in 1933 by area citizens. The land was donated by E.M. Williamson of Mont Clare Plantation, the cypress logs and other lumber were cut at T.C. Coxes Skufful Plantation, and the sandstone for the foundation was quarried at Skufful Plantation.

It met here from 1933 until Mont Clare Baptist Church was formally founded in 1960. This center, described as a lovely log building, has hosted church, school, and other events.
