1332 Pine Street
Site of Daddy Grace's Parsonage
This residence once accommodated Bishop Charles Manuel “Sweet Daddy” Grace (1884-1960), founder of the United House of Prayer for All People, during his visits to Columbia beginning in 1929. Grace’s long fingernails, bright cutaway coats, jewels and long hair matched the energetic spirit of his annual September revival at the denomination’s Read Street sanctuary, where he baptized with water from fire hoses and often preached the Bible all night long.
