Inscription. The Brem House was built for Walter V. Brem (1849-1925) and his wife Hannah Caldwell Brem (1851-1931) in 1902-1903.

The Brem family was one of Charlotte's most prominent families. The Colonial Revival-style Brem House was designed by Charles Christian Hook (1870-1938), who was one of Charlotte's first resident architects. C.C.
