Lace House

The Lace House features elegant Victorian architecture with intricate woodwork, detailed cornices, and period-appropriate decorative elements that showcase the exceptional craftsmanship of the late 19th century.

Constructed in 1854, the Lace House originally served as a residence for South Carolina's social and political elite before the Civil War, reflecting the prosperous period of the region's antebellum history.

The building has historically hosted events and gatherings that contributed to Columbia's social scene, with residents actively involved in civic activities that shaped the local community's development.

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places since December 17, 1969, the property is located at 803 Richland Street and offers guided tours through the Columbia historic preservation organization.

The house earned its name from the lace-like decorative elements on its facade, which were considered emblematic of the meticulous craftsmanship characteristic of elite homes during that period.
