Brahe House, Greek Revival residence in Augusta, United States.

Brahe House is a three-story residence with a full English basement and symmetrical proportions built in the Greek Revival style. Classical architectural details and balanced design elements are found throughout the building, giving it a formal and ordered appearance.

The house was built in 1850 by Frederick Adolphus Brahe, who came from Albany and worked as both a silversmith and the town's Official Clock Tender. His dual roles reflected his importance in establishing Augusta's early business and civic life.

Frederick Adolphus Brahe, who came from Albany, worked in Augusta as a silversmith and as the town's Official Clock Tender, winding and maintaining the public clock. The house at 456 Telfair Street carries his name; the building itself is the surviving trace of his trade and civic post in the city.

The house stands at 456 Telfair Street, in Augusta's Sand Hills section. It is a private residence, so visitors see it from the street; the three-story cottage form with its full English basement is visible from the sidewalk. The address places it within the Telfair Street corridor, a short drive from downtown Augusta.

The house's full English basement, a storey set below the main floor, is what the 1973 National Register listing singles out: the survey called the three-storey cottage "a unique structure to this part of town" for combining it with Sand Hills Cottage forms and Greek Revival detail.
