Property Details:

Name and style: The property is historically known as the Heslep House or Heslep-Bernardin House. It’s one of Columbia’s best examples of the Spanish Mission / Spanish Colonial Revival architectural style. Date built: Around 1927, by contractor John C. Heslep, who was a leading builder in Columbia during the early 20th century. Some public real-estate records list 1923 as the original build date, but preservation sources agree that the main structure seen today dates from the 1927 construction. Design features: The house is a two-story stucco structure with round-arched windows, iron balconies, tile roof, sun decks, and a small square tower. Its ornate sculptural entrance, wood-beam ceilings, and hand-carved details make it one of the most elaborate private residences of its style in the city. Historic recognition: The home has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1979. It’s also within Columbia’s Wales Garden Architectural Conservation District, meaning exterior changes are subject to historic-preservation review. Neighborhood context: Wales Garden was one of Columbia’s premier residential neighborhoods in the 1920s, attracting prominent businesspeople and civic leaders. The Heslep family was well known locally for their construction work on large civic buildings, including the Richland County Courthouse and the Township Auditorium.
