Step back in time and explore the story of Columbia's 1901 City Hall.

Stephen Bybee, Chair of the city's Historic Preservation Commission, will highlight its unique architecture, notable tenants, and lasting impact on Columbia's history. Celebrate the preservation of this architectural treasure and its role in shaping our city’s heritage!
