The Brown–Neuffer–Ford House at 507 North Main Street is one of the town’s most architecturally significant turn-of-the-20th-century residences. Key architectural features are Queen Anne influenced Victorian with stick / shingle style elements. The most striking feature is the polygonal corner tower, capped with a bell shaped (domed) roof. Complex roofline with multiple intersecting gables, varied roof pitches with picturesque elements emphasizing visual interest from every angle. The large wrap around porch highlights the Colonial Revival influence with classical columns and balustrades providing shade and outdoor living space.
Prominent brick chimney, centrally placed, serving multiple fireplaces. The home offers 4368 +/- sq.ft., .72 acre lot, listed as stop 42 on the National Historic Register. Built in 1900 for C. D. Brown who drew his own plans and hired an architect from Charleston to execute them.
The entire lower floor is made for gracious living and entertaining of the period. The home has lovely crown molding, beautiful tile fireplaces, fret work, and most of the doors have their original grain finish and combed surfaces. There are 4 matching chandeliers still present.
Entering the front door to the grand central hallway that leads to the elegant staircase, one finds multiple fireplaces throughout the home, high ceilings, beautiful fretwork, pocket doors between the formal rooms, original heart pine floors and formal dining room, library and music / sitting room.
Six bedrooms, 3 full and 2 1/2 baths, updated kitchen with granite countertops. Outdoors features screened porch, open decking overlooking in-ground pool and separate building that would be a great pool house or home office. Also a detached one car garage.
