South Carolina, Bluffton, Bluffton Oyster Company
At one time, oyster digging and shucking was big business on the coast of South Carolina. By the 1930s the business was in decline. The Bluffton Oyster Company is the last hand shucking oyster business in South Carolina. The Bluffton Oyster Company has been a family owned business since 1899. The one-story, front gable, raised seam metal roof building was constructed around 1940 on the same site as previous oyster factories. The land side end of the building is covered in stucco with seashells The structure is located in the Buiffton Historic District listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a contributing property,
