“M” is for Miles Brewton House (Charleston). Completed in 1769 the Miles Brewton House with its garden and well-preserved outbuildings constitute the centerpiece of what is widely considered the finest Georgian town-house complex in America. The house is a two-story, double-pile structure set on a raised basement. The façade features a two-tiered portico with Ionic and Tuscan columns. A dual stair with white marble steps lead to the entrance. The interior features extraordinary craftsmanship, including fully paneled rooms, elaborate carved ornamentation, mahogany doors, and marble mantles. The hall is paved with imported Purbeck stone. The second-floor drawing room has a seventeen-foot cove ceiling. The house was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1960.
