The Shell BuildersTabby Architecture of Beaufort, South Carolina, and the Sea Islands\nAuthor(s): Colin Brooker, Lawrence S. Rowland\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: University of South Carolina Press, United States\nImprint: University of South Carolina Press\nISBN-13: 9781643360713, 978-1643360713\nSynopsis\nBeaufort, South Carolina, is well known for its historical architecture, but perhaps none is quite as remarkable as those edifices formed by tabby, sometimes called coastal concrete, comprising a mixture of lime, sand, water, and oyster shells. Tabby itself has a storied history stretching back to Iberian, Caribbean, Spanish American, and even African roots--brought to the United States by adventurers, merchants, military engineers, planters, and the enslaved.\n\nTabby has been preserved most abundantly in the Beaufort area and its outlying islands, (and along the Sea Islands all the way to Florida as well) with Fort Frederick in 1734 having the earliest example of a diverse group.
