Logan Elementary School, public elementary school in Columbia, South Carolina, United States
Logan Elementary School is a school building in Columbia, South Carolina, constructed in 1913 from brick with detailed stone decorations. The three-story structure sits on roughly four acres and includes classrooms arranged around two courtyards with an auditorium between them.
The school was built in 1913 and expanded in 1915 after Charles Mercer Logan donated four acres and funds in 1904. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979 to protect its historic character.
The school is named after Charles Mercer Logan, a benefactor who donated land and funds for its construction. The name and its role as a gathering place for families reflect its deep roots in the local community's educational identity.
The building sits in a quiet area surrounded by trees and open spaces, making it easy to view the architecture from outside. Access inside is limited since it remains an active school, though visitors can appreciate the exterior details and historic facade.
The site was previously used as State Fair Grounds from 1859 to 1903 before becoming home to the school, connecting it to the city's earlier public gatherings. This layered history adds another dimension to understanding Columbia's development.
