1430 Richland Street
Orchard House
William E. Orchard, a longtime professor of music at the Columbia Female Academy and a popular local musician, had this house built in 1875. Characteristic of Italianate style architecture, which was popular from 1840 through 1880, this building features a two-story, façade-width front porch with decorative wooden brackets. Its cast iron balustrade, or railings, tended to be found on houses constructed before the Civil War.
