Richard Brenan House

The Richard Brenan House, 207 Calhoun St., Charleston, South Carolina

The Richard Brenan House is an early 19th century house at 207 Calhoun St., Charleston, South Carolina. The house was built for Richard Brenan, a merchant, in 1817 and originally included the adjacent land to the west (a parking lot today). The house is a three-story Charleston single house with quoins and fine cornice. The house was a two-story piazza on the west side.[1]

In 1835, the house was bought by Nathaniel Russell Middleton, a president of the College of Charleston, for his widowed sister-in-law. In 1881, the house became the parsonage for Bethel Methodist located across Pitt St. from the house.[1] The church put the house up for sale in 1965.[2] It was restored as a private house by Mr. and Mrs. G.A.Z. Johnson.[3]
