Earle Town House, Federal style residence in Greenville, United States.

The Earle Town House is a Federal style residence built between 1829 and 1833 located on James Street in Greenville. The structure features original hand-hewn timber beams, a hand-carved mantelpiece, and an entrance with decorative metalwork and brick details.

Long believed to date from about 1810 and linked to Congressman Elias T. Earle, who never owned the property, the house was more likely built c. 1829–1833 by Samuel Green, or as late as 1834 after Elias Drayton Earle acquired the land. James A. David bought it with 35 acres in 1856, and in December 1927 Mary Chevillette Simms Oliphant, granddaughter of novelist William Gilmore Simms, had architect William Riddle Ward renovate it to Federal style. It was listed on the National Register on August 5, 1969.

Mary Chevillette Simms Oliphant, granddaughter of novelist William Gilmore Simms, bought the house in December 1927 and had architect William Riddle Ward remodel it to what she believed was its original Federal style. She also led a petition that kept a proposed highway bypass off James Street.

The residence is located on James Street and visible from the street, though it remains a private home and cannot be entered for tours. You can view the architectural features including the brick facade and decorative entrance details from the sidewalk.
