Robert Mills Historic District

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.

Site of Boozer-Davis Cottage

For over a century, a circa-1880 Italianate style cottage stood on this site. Of a popular post-Civil War design, this residence, named for the two families commonly associated with it, was relocated in 1984 to 1925 Pickens Street as historically sympathetic in-fill within the Robert Mills Historic District East.
