1410 Laurel Street
This circa-1900 residence served as a single-family home from its construction until the 1960s, when it was converted into two apartments. The trend of subdividing older houses into multi-occupant residences began after World War II within many of Columbia’s inner-city historic neighborhoods. Once home to clerks, mechanics, engineers, and gardeners, this Victorian-era building was rehabilitated for commercial use about 1978.
