Pegues Place, also known as the Claudius Pegues House, is a historic home located near Wallace, Marlboro County, South Carolina. It was built about 1770, and is a two-story Georgian white frame house with a one-story, full façade porch. A wing was added in the late-19th century. Also on the property are contributing barns, a cotton gin, wash house, log smoke house, carriage house, and greenhouse.
