Lower Waverly

Established in the early twentieth century, Lower Waverly boasts diverse architectural styles and is protected as an architectural conservation district by the City of Columbia. Bounded by Gervais, King, Santee and Harden streets, this neighborhood was home to many professional and working-class African Americans who emerged as activists, educators and community leaders in the Civil Rights Movement.
