University Hill

Established between 1885 and 1950, the University Hill neighborhood is listed as a Historic District in the National Register of Historic Places and is protected as an architectural conservation district by the City of Columbia. Bounded by Sumter Street, Gervais Street, Laurens Street, and Blossom Street, University Hill features homes with a mix of architectural styles and designs from prominent regional and local architects.

1938 College Street

This modern interpretation of the Charleston Single House captures the essence and details of its historic coastal antecedents and is unique to the University Hill neighborhood. Known for its two-story piazzas that capture the breeze, this style became a prevalent architectural form in South Carolina's port city from the mid-18th through early 19th centuries. While popular in the Holy City, examples of the Single House are far fewer in Columbia.
