Glimpses of Charleston

A local's eye view

The Miles Brewton House (c. 1769) on King Street is one of the most significant buildings in Charleston and the United States. It's a National Historic Landmark, as its whole complex, complete with its dependency buildings, is considered to be the finest example of Georgian architecture remaining in America. During the Revolutionary War it served as the headquarters for British General Henry Clinton, and towards the end of the Civil War it was the Union army headquarters.
