Sweet Bottom Plantation Tour

This residence was inspired by a home built by Ezra Waite for Charleston merchant Miles Brewton. It was said to represent one of the most perfect examples of Georgian architecture in America and one of the finest examples of a double house (referencing the arrangement of four main rooms per floor) in Charleston. The ornate designs in the cornice and door surround are the work of English woodcarvers and the two-story portico with elliptical fanlight over the entry was among the earliest of its kind in the country.The house was occupied by two military forces: The British Army during the Revolutionary War and the United States Army during the Civil War.
