Dunklin House is a historic home located in Laurens, South Carolina. The house was built in 1831 by John Dunklin, a prominent lawyer and politician in Laurens County. The two-story home features a central hall plan with four rooms on each floor, original hardwood floors, and a spacious front porch. The house is constructed of brick, which was made on site, and is an excellent example of Federal style architecture.

In addition to its architectural significance, Dunklin House has a rich history. During the Civil War, the house was used as a hospital for Confederate soldiers. Legend has it that General Sherman spared the house from destruction during his march through the South because he was treated there for a broken leg.

Today, Dunklin House is a popular event venue for weddings, parties, and corporate events. The house has been beautifully restored and features modern amenities such as air conditioning and a commercial kitchen. The grounds include a large lawn and gardens, making it a picturesque setting for outdoor events. Visitors can also tour the house by appointment to learn more about its history and architecture.
