Research Roundtable | Preservation Visionaries Mabel Payne & Jennie Dreher
Free for members
$5 for non-members
Seibels House : 1601 Richland Street, Columbia, SC 29201
Founded in 1961, Historic Columbia shared one major trait with other preservation-based organizations—it had women largely to thank for its existence.
Join Director of Cultural Resources John Sherrer as we meet two key members of that tour de force – Jennie Dreher and Mabel Payne, whose respective efforts saved the Ainsley Hall House (today’s Robert Mills House) five decades ago and whose spirits continue to shape the character of our city today.
