923 Pine Street
923 Pine StreetNestled among Lower Waverly's early 20th-century cottages and bungalows stands a handful of two-story houses built during the 1910s and 1930s. Reflecting styles found in other early Columbia suburbs, these residences proved popular with both black and white professionals seeking contemporary houses not far from the city's downtown. According to city directories from 1910 through 1950, plasterer Marshall LaBorde, boardinghouse owner Maggie Ellington, and housepainter Robert Griffin and his wife, Mamie, all black citizens, once called this property home.
