Columbia Takes Preservation of Historic and Cultural Assets Seriously

The City of Columbia demonstrates the city’s ongoing commitment to historic preservation.

Most recently, a project to renovate the “Jack and Jill” building is underway, the oldest building in Downtown Columbia. Dated to 1817, the historic building was constructed the same year that the City of Columbia was formerly incorporated as a municipality.

The major project was identified as a key item in the city’s 2015-2016 Strategic Plan. As adopted, plan objectives include stabilization of the structure.

Staff had also pursued Tennessee Historical Commision grant funds that may be used to offset the cost of period doors and windows that hold with the historic character of the building with contemporary efficiencies that aid in stabilizing the building long-term.
