The Colonel John Stuart House, located at 104-106 Tradd Street in Charleston, South Carolina, is a historic landmark dating back to 1772, making it the oldest known side-hall plan house in the city. Once the residence of Colonel John Stuart, the King's Superintendent of Indian Affairs in the South, the house played a significant role in improving relations with the Cherokee Nation and other Native American tribes during a tumultuous period between the Seven Years' War and the American Revolutionary War.
This three-story wood frame structure features a distinctive Georgian architectural style, with a front entrance flanked by fluted Corinthian columns and topped by a rounded transom window entablature and gabled denticulated pediment. The interior, meticulously restored with high-quality 20th-century reproductions of the original finishes, offers a glimpse into the colonial-era grandeur of this historic home, which was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1973.
