Colonel John Stuart House

The Colonel John Stuart House features a three-story wood frame structure with a hip roof, flushboarded front, and clapboarded side walls at 106 Tradd Street.

Built in 1772, this residence belonged to John Stuart, the King's Superintendent of Indian Affairs, who managed relations with Native American tribes until the Revolutionary War.

The interior displays a traditional side-hall plan with a long corridor leading to the main stair, representing upper-class residential design in colonial Charleston.

The property contains nine rooms spread across three floors, with a basement, garden space, and multiple outbuildings surrounded by brick walls and iron fencing.

Original interior elements from 1772, including decorative features and finishes, were transferred to a museum collection in 1930 for preservation.
