Parlor Lecture Series features religious architecture
Contributed by Historic Columbia Foundation

Wesley United Methodist Church, erected in 1910, is an example of early 20th century African- American high style church architecture.

In the fourth program of Historic Columbia's lecture series, architect Phelps Bultman explores the local monuments to religious beliefs and spiritual aspirations.

As South Carolina's capital, Columbia features some of our state's most awe- inspiring houses of worship. Bultman will discuss the various architectural styles that are represented throughout downtown Columbia and how these styles have changed throughout history. An analysis of the locations, materials and symbols selected in designing these historically significant churches will offer insight into our city's deep religious roots.

Photographs, anecdotes and lively discussion will make this one program you'll hate to miss. The lecture will take place on Sunday, March 25 at Saint John's Episcopal Church, 2827 Wheat Street.

Admission is $5. Free for Historic Columbia Foundation members.
