Go behind-the-scenes with Historic Columbia
November 13, 2017
Join Historic Columbia and the new owners of a recently rehabilitated, circa-1915 bungalow as they share their story of a four-year long search for their perfect home. Go behind-the-scenes mid-renovation and hear the lessons of preservation and rehabilitation learned during one of the capital city’s most detail-oriented bungalow transformations. This tour is in downtown Columbia’s Hollywood-Rose Hill neighborhood on December 5, 2017 from 6 – 7:30 p.m. This tour includes drinks and light refreshments.
For Americans yearning for life beyond the city limits during the early 1900s, owning a bungalow was a way of enjoying modern conveniences in a home designed to be both functional and fashionable. Meeting those expectations, Columbia’s early 20th-century suburbs teemed with this housing form often executed with Craftsman style details. In recent decades, the bungalow’s popularity has grown as a new generation discovers this important housing form.

About Historic Columbia
In November 1961, a small group of individuals intent on saving the Ainsley Hall House from demolition officially incorporated as the Historic Columbia Foundation. Over the next five decades the organization, which was founded on the premise of preservation and education, would take on the stewardship of seven historic properties in Richland County. Today, the organization serves as a model for local preservation efforts and interpretation of local history.
