Two-story stuccoed brick house featuring dormers with pediments and a balcony over the porch. Balcony and balcony roof are supported by slender columns. The balcony is enclosed by a balustrade. Balcony and ground level entrances feature sidelights and transom. Built in 1850, the Brahe House is believed to have been the first house in Augusta to install electricity. The Brahes occupied the home for 118 years, and in 1968 it was deeded to the Augusta Museum to be converted into a house museum. Unfortunately this project fell through and the home was converted to offices by 1990. For more information see Greene, Vicki H. et al. Augusta Scrapbook: Twentieth-Century Memories_.
