Former Greyhound Bus Station, Blanding Street, Columbia, SC Built in 1938-1939, this Streamline Moderne-style building was designed by George D. Brown to serve as a Greyhound Bus Station, based on the plans developed for the company by Industrial Designer Raymond Loewy in 1933. The building is similar to other bus stations built by Greyhound in mid-sized cities across the United States. It remained in use as a Greyhound Bus Station until the 1980s. The building is clad in blue and pale yellow vitrolite mirrored glass panels and stucco with glass block separated by stainless steel bands, curved corners, large piers between the bays at the front entrance doors, stainless steel canopies, a large blank sign over the front entrance, and a low-slope roof enclosed by a parapet. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989, and is a contributing structure in the Columbia Commercial Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014, and increased to its present size in 2021.
Tapp’s Building, Main Street and Blanding Street, Columbia, SC Built in 1940 and expanded in 1952 with the addition of two stories to the roof, this Art Moderne-style building was designed by Lafaye, Lafaye and Fair and E. Paul Behles for a department store run by James L. Tapp. The building features a stucco-clad facade with dark panel cladding at the base, a curtain wall at the second and third floors of the front facade above the front entrance, a clock, metal canopy, and Art Deco-style sign on the facade above the front entrance, large plate glass windows on the first floor, and one-over-one windows and casement windows on the upper floors of the side and rear facades. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, and is a contributing structure in the Columbia Commercial Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014, and increased to its present size in 2021. The building was rehabilitated in 2003, and today, houses an arts center on the first floor, and apartments on the upper floors.
