Robert Brewton House, Colonial house in Charleston, United States.

The Robert Brewton House is a three-story rectangular brick house at 71 Church Street in Charleston, set on a narrow lot on the west side of the street. It is one room wide, with its narrow end facing the street, and has a hip roof, three bays at the front, stuccoed corner quoining and decorative stuccoed keystones over the windows. A narrow driveway runs along the south side, where the house shows five bays and its main entrance.

Built between 1701 and 1715, the house was acquired in the 1730s or 1740s by Miles Brewton, a Barbados-born goldsmith and militia officer, who gave it to his son Robert, also a goldsmith. A 1733 deed to Miles's daughter Dale refers to the son's house at 71 Church Street, separated from hers at 73 by a three-foot alley. Robert succeeded his father as Powder Receiver in 1745 and sold the house that year to his sister Rebecca and her husband Jordan Roche. It is the oldest dated example of a Charleston single house and a National Historic Landmark since 1960.

The house is the oldest dated example of Charleston's "single house": one room wide, with the narrow end toward Church Street to catch cool breezes. Miles Brewton, a goldsmith who came from Barbados in 1684, gave it to his son Robert, also a goldsmith; a 3-foot alley separated it from the family's house at 73 Church Street.

The house stands on the west side of Church Street, its narrow three-bay end facing the street and its main entrance on the south side, where a narrow driveway runs alongside. The sources record no garden or outbuildings, so visitors should look instead for the stuccoed corner quoining and the decorative stuccoed keystones above the windows.
