Tour begins at the Mills Building : 2100 Bull Street, Columbia, SC 29201
Join Historic Columbia for a stroll through the heart of the BullStreet District. This tour delves into the rich history of the former main campus of the South Carolina State Hospital, highlighting the experiences of men, women, and children affected by mental illness—whether as patients, caregivers, or family members—from the early 19th century to the late 20th century. Their stories and the retention of historically significant buildings have driven Historic Columbia’s preservation advocacy efforts throughout the site’s redevelopment as The BullStreet District, which began in 2015. Attendees will view the exterior of some of the remaining historic buildings in The BullStreet District during this walking tour, which will begin at the historic Mills Building and last approximately 75 minutes.
