Miles Brewton House, Georgian residence in downtown Charleston, United States.

The Miles Brewton House is a two-story brick double house on a high stone basement, set on the west side of King Street. Marble steps flank a projecting two-story porch with Doric columns below and Ionic above, topped by a pedimented, dentillated gable. A wall with iron fencing rings the two-acre property, and a plantation lane along the north side links the outbuildings.

The house was built between 1765 and 1769 for a wealthy merchant and was later occupied by British troops during the American Revolution. Union forces used the building as headquarters in 1865.

The house is also called the Pringle House on King Street, after the family that inherited it through Jacob Motte's line. On the north side runs a local "plantation lane" lined with period slave quarters, a kitchen and a pavilion, all joined by an arcade. A profile of British general Henry Clinton is still visible where it was scratched on a marble mantelpiece.

The house stands on the west side of King Street near the southern tip of the Charleston peninsula, behind a low front wall with an iron gate opening onto a courtyard. The property is ringed by walls topped with iron fencing, and a plantation lane on the north side leads past the outbuildings. It is a private residence, so visitors see the exterior and gate from the street.

The entrance retains original vertical iron spikes known as chevaux de frise that were used for protection against intruders during colonial times. These defensive features reveal the security concerns of wealthy residents of the era.
