Adam Ewing House

— circa 1783 —

This town house was constructed by Adam Ewing, a Scots merchant, for his residence and place of business. He and his partner Robert Ewing (who bore the same surname but was no relation) had their counting house in the front room of the ground floor. Adam Ewing's home occupied the remainder of the house.

The Adam Ewing House was constructed after the Great Fire of 1778 which destroyed much of this neighborhood. It is notable for its simple and elegant design substantially built of stuccoed masonary with stuccoed jack arches articulating the tops of windows and doors in the facade. The entrance on Tradd Street was the public entrance to the counting house with the private residential entrance down the walk to the side.
