The Brownlee–Kennedy House, located at 9 Church Street in Due West, South Carolina, stands as one of the town’s oldest and most architecturally significant residences. Believed to have originated as a log dwelling around 1800, the house was extensively remodeled in the mid-1800s, adopting a refined two-story rectangular form with a gable roof. The front façade is distinguished by a recessed two-story porch supported by six stuccoed brick posts, a central entrance with sidelights and a decorative surround, and a cantilevered second-story balcony adorned with a decorative railing—a hallmark of the “Lindsay style,” popularized by local builder James Lindsay.

The house is constructed on brick pier foundations and features horizontal flush paneling across the front. Each story boasts two 6/6 light windows with louvered shutters and decorative trim, enhancing the home’s elegant proportions. A single-story shed-roofed porch extends across the rear, incorporating a screened-in section, while a side addition includes an exterior end chimney. Outbuildings on the property include two wooden sheds, contributing to the site’s historic character.

Listed in the Erskine College–Due West Historic District, which was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982, the Brownlee–Kennedy House exemplifies the architectural evolution of Due West from the early 19th century through the mid-1800s. Its blend of early log construction with mid-century enhancements reflects the town’s growth and the influence of local craftsmanship during that period.
