Bouler Home
Identical to houses built to the east of the then all-white neighborhood of Melrose Heights, this Craftsman style bungalow was built about 1930 by Reverend Wade B. Bouler in the easternmost section of Lower Waverly. Pastoring a number of churches in South Carolina, including the former Chappelle Station, which later became Chappelle Memorial A.M.E., Bouler is representative of the many African-American leaders within the neighborhood who met the spiritual needs of Columbia’s black community.
