The Espy Watts Brawley House, also known as the Brawley House,[2] is a historic home located at Mooresville, Iredell County, North Carolina. It was built in 1904, and is a large 2 1/2-story, transitional Queen Anne / Colonial Revival style frame dwelling. It has a two-story side wing with a two-story, three-sided bay; truncated slate hipped roof; and one-story wraparound porch with porte-cochère. Also on the property are two contributing outbuildings.[3]
