Raymond Price House The Raymond Price House, built in 1952, is significant for its local architectural significance. Although it is often overshadowed by the other Moderne and International Style houses in the Columbia area, it features a unique mix of Streamline Moderne and International Style architecture that is rare in Columbia and throughout South Carolina. The builder and architect of the Raymond Price House, George Price, Sr., had a history of designing Modernistic buildings. His residence next door, which he also designed, is in the Streamline Moderne style. The Raymond Price House is a two-story residence based on a L plan that features a balcony on the front over the projection and a projecting balcony on the second floor on the rear. The walls and foundation are composed of brick. The brick covers a structural steel skeleton, a characteristic of Moderne and International Style structures. Horizontal banding surrounds the rectangular windows echoing a sense of speed, as is typical in Streamline Moderne buildings and structures. The small windows reflect the sterility and lack of ornamentation of the International Style. As is customary in Moderne and International Style houses, a flat roof is present on the house. A one-story structure that is now an office is located at the southeast corner of the lot. It was built at the same time as the house and is in the same style. Listed in the National Register September 27, 2007.
George R. Price House The George R. Price House, built in 1939, is a strong example of the Streamline Moderne expression of the Modernistic movement, an architectural style that did not experience as much widespread popularity in Columbia as it did in other parts of the nation during the late 1920s and 1930s. The George R. Price House is the city’s only Streamline Modern style residence. Price, who designed and constructed the house, was a Columbia contractor and builder whose trade granted him first-hand experience in working with new prefabricated and mass-produced building materials, while introducing him to the new construction concepts of the era. This exposure may have piqued his interest in Modernistic design. The home is a two-story, steel-framed, masonry building with a L-shaped floor plan, flat roof, multiple porches, and a three-car garage. With the exception of minor brick ornamentation around its frieze and numerous glass block windows, the house lacks ornamentation and contrasts sharply with its neighboring houses. Listed in the National Register April 30, 1998.
