803 Richland Street
Lace House
Named for the intricate ironwork detailing, this circa-1855 mansion is representative of many of the more architecturally refined houses built in the Arsenal Hill neighborhood before the Civil War. Originally home to Fairfield planter and financier Thomas J. Robertson and his wife, Mary Ophelia, the Classic Revival style property later served as headquarters for the Women's Christian Temperance Union. In 1967, the State of South Carolina acquired the site for use as an official venue for hosting guests of state.
