Second Sunday Stroll | University Hill

Inn at USC 1619 Pendelton Street, Columbia, South Carolina 29201
Join Historic Columbia for a Second Sunday Stroll featuring our tour of University Hill! Second Sunday Strolls provide a guided tour for many of the neighborhoods featured in Historic Columbia's "Retrace: Connecting Communities Through History" brochures. Tours are 60 to 90 minutes in length.
Established between 1885 and 1950, the University Hill neighborhood features homes with a mix of architectural styles and designs from prominent regional and local architects. As one of the oldest residential communities in Columbia, this neighborhood has continued to be shaped and defined by urban renewal and the University of South Carolina’s eastward expansion. Bounded by Sumter Street, Gervais Street, Laurens Street, and Blossom Street, this portion of South Carolina’s capital city was listed as a Historic District in the National Register of Historic Places in 2004 and is protected as an architectural conservation district by the City of Columbia.
A note on the weather: The tour will take place if it is just raining; if there is thunder/lightning in University Hill, the tour will be canceled.
