The Brennen Building, located at 1210-1220 Main Street in Columbia, earned a Historic Preservation Honor Award from the American Institute of Architects (AIA) South Carolina Chapter. This project also received a 2014 Preservation/Restoration Award from Historic Columbia. Originally completed around 1871 and listed in the National Register of Historic Places, this project restored one of the City’s best examples of an intact French-Victorian commercial structure.
