Ashley Hall Plantation is a historic
In 1915, the 1000 acre property was bought by Julius Jahnz for the price of $30,000, (~$653,850 in 2023) one of the highest prices paid for a real estate sale in many years.[4] In the run up to World War I, some locals circulated a rumor that German-born Jahnz was shipping large amounts of concrete to his new property to erect a German fortress. In reality, the concrete was being used to construct a modern creamery on 400 acres of the property. Jahnz also undertook the clean-up of the grounds including the ruins of the Bull house and a monument erected to Bull's memory.[5]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.[1]
