Avant Holdings, LLC receives 2021 Preservation Award from Historic Columbia
May 24, 2021
Historic Columbia recognized the extensive renovations of 915 Lady Street with the 2021 Preservation Award at the organization’s annual Awards event held at the Hampton-Preston Mansion. Featuring Art Deco details on its facade, the National Biscuit Company (known as Nabisco today) constructed the building circa 1932. It is located within and contributes to the West Gervais Street Historic District, the city of Columbia’s most intact collection of commercial and rail-related buildings. 915 Lady Street is one of several National Register brick warehouse structures that were clustered around the original passenger and freight rail terminal that served as a hub for commerce and transportation when railway travel was at its prime.
“The nearly two-year renovation was an exciting project for our team to breathe new life into the historic Vista district, while keeping the story and character of the building intact and respected,” says Todd Avant, Managing Partner of Avant Holdings, LLC.
