The Branford-Horry House was already standing when William Brandford died in 1767. It is located at 59 Meeting Street, Charleston, South Carolina.[2][3] The house was named to the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.[1]
The three-story house of stuccoed brick has very fine Georgian interiors. The front piazza, built over the sidewalk, was added by Branford's grandson, Elias Horry, in about 1830.
The house is unusual for its piazzas which extend over the public sidewalk.[4] In 1988, a speeding car crashed into the house, knocking out two of the columns and sending one into the front door of the house.[5]
