The historic Columbia Fire House in the Vista, which was once considered the most advanced fire station in the country when it opened in 1952, is getting a new chance at life with the redevelopment of the property and a campaign to lease it.
The Columbia Central Fire Station was built between 1949 and 1951 and served as the Columbia Fire Department’s Headquarters from 1950 until 1995. In 2009, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. Located in the heart of the Vista, the fire station is located close to the State Capitol and the University of South Carolina, and sits on a very prominent corner in an area which has seen recent additions such as Urban Outfitters, Hickory Tavern and Grill Marks.
The Columbia Fire House presents a unique opportunity for office, retail, hotel & event users. The first floor will host 3 restaurants with abundant outdoor patio seating. The second floor and auxiliary building are being offered for office or retail use.
