Research Roundtable | Devine Street

Free for members

Buy Tickets

Seibels House : 1601 Richland Street, Columbia, SC 29201

Learn more about Historic Columbia’s research initiatives at the monthly Research Roundtable programs!

Once the heart of the original Shandon neighborhood, Devine Street has since undergone several transformations (including a name change) to become a major corridor of commerce and recreation. One hundred and twenty years ago, Devine Street was considered prime residential real estate due to its newly installed street car line and proximity to a casino, where local citizens held dances regularly. Participants are welcome to bring their lunch to this program.
