Historic Columbia’s Palladium Tour-Columbia Craftsman

You are invited to Palladium’s 4th Annual Tour, Columbia Craftsman!

This year’s Palladium Tour will showcase houses embodying the early 20th-century architectural movement that rebelled against the excessive detailing of late Victorian period instead opting for the natural beauty, colors, and textures of building materials and construction in the Craftsman style. Guests will tour the interiors and exteriors of six properties nestled within the Melrose Heights-Fairview-Oaklawn neighborhood, which celebrates its twentieth anniversary as a local architectural conservation district and its seventh year as a National Register of Historic Places district in 2023.

In between tour stops, participants will have the opportunity to peruse the offerings of Melrose’s Art in the Yard festival during this self-paced walking tour. The tour will conclude with a block party on Hagood Avenue where participants will enjoy a taste of the neighborhood and the southern hospitality that defines much of our community.

Tickets are $35 for Palladium members, $40 for Historic Columbia members, and $50 for non-members.
