Named for the nation’s first federal architect and designer of the Robert Mills House and Gardens, the Robert Mills Historic District is listed in the National Register of Historic Places as “Columbia Historic District II.” Bounded by Sumter, Calhoun, Barnwell and Taylor streets, the district contains approximately 113 historic structures that embody over three hundred years of diverse residential and institutional architecture.
Built about 1915, this adaptively reused, former home features details such as a clipped gable, (or jerkinhead) roofline and faux half-timbering typical within the Tudor Revival expression of the early-20th century’s Period Revival architectural movement. The home originally featured a façade-width, single-story front porch.
