Intersection of Assembly and Gervais Streets

Gateway to the Vista

The eastern gateway into today’s Vista district has experienced its share of change since Columbia’s founding. This aerial image from the early 1940s reveals many landmarks now gone – three gas stations, a portion of the farmers market, and the popular Market Restaurant. These once busy parcels today feature surface parking lots.
