The Prioleau-Miles House, c.1873 in Historic Charleston, South Carolina

www.173Broad.com

This incredible home was built c.1873 by a member of the Prioleau family. In c.1880 the home was acquired by C. Richardson
Miles, a South Carolina attorney general and later president of the College of Charleston Trustees.
When Mary Loretta (Croghan) and George Ramsay bought the property in 1950 along with Mary Loretta’s parents, the home
quickly became the family-centric location for lovingly entertaining four generations of Charlestonians and visiting dignitaries. 173 Broad
has feted First Ladies, hosted three weddings and four debutante balls, welcomed Spoleto benefactors, introduced performing artists,
and received friends and families every December during the Charleston Christmas Parade. It is no wonder the phrase, “If these walls
could talk…!” is often overheard at 173 Broad St.

The Prioleau-Miles house marries two specific architectural styles. First, the Queen Anne style which incorporates multiple gable
roof lines, double-tiered wrap-around piazzas, charming spindle work detail, as well as bay windows. Second, the Colonial Revival style
was popular from c.1880 to c.1930 after our country’s Centennial Exhibition of 1876. This style “revived” Americans’ desire to utilize
a more traditional architecture from their colonial past. Colonial Revival is drawn from an amalgamation of Georgian, Federal
Architecture, and Dutch Colonial Style.

The 6434+/- sq.ft. main building sits on 0.47+/- acres in Charleston’s most esteemed South of Broad neighborhood. The
home boasts a grand mahogany staircase in the main foyer that is also incorporated into the wall trim detail. The first floor is ideal for
entertaining which is comprised of double formal living rooms, each with their own fireplace. The heart pine floors extend through the
magnificent formal dining room with a fireplace complete with a separate butler’s pantry or catering kitchen. The next room is perfect

This light-filled, first-floor master has brand new wall-to-wall carpet (balance of3home is heart pine) and includes a private entrance to
the gardens outside. This addition is a one-story stucco building which was completed in c.1994 and connected to the main house.

1600+/- sq.ft. of living space (800 sq. ft. in each unit). Each apartment has one bedroom, one bathroom, and a den. The downstairs unit
has full kitchen while the upstairs unit has a kitchenette. The structure was built c.1946 and one of the two units is currently rented. Also,
