Explores seventeen neglected historic sites, revealing the city's forgotten past and haunting architectural beauty.
Columbia holds remarkable significance as a city that played a pivotal role in shaping American history. This significance is illustrated by the countless prominent buildings scattered across the South Carolina midlands. While some of these structures have evolved with the passing decades, many have fallen into varying stages of decay. Whether vacated once they became obsolete or outright abandoned, Columbia bears numerous unique ruins still standing as silent witnesses to the area's past. Exploring these remnants provides a unique opportunity to reflect on overlooked places and foster an appreciation for their haunting beauty.
In Abandoned South Carolina: Bygone Places of Columbia, Adam Stanley offers a detailed look inside seventeen abandoned locations across the city, combined with accounts of their histories. Adam's meticulous explorations allow readers to witness the impact of time and neglect on both units of the infamous State Hospital, hidden tunnels beneath the city, a defunct tuberculosis hospital, and much more.
