A trip to our State Capitol - Columbia SC

Real Estate Agent with International Property Management Group, LLC 91013

I've been to our state capitol twice in the last two weeks...and will be going back again next Tuesday.    Lobbying the Senate with other SC Realtors regarding the tax reform bill we would like them to support....and get it done this session!  (S.435)

It was a beautiful day - here is a shot of the Capitol building.  Notice the flowers planted --- they resemble our state flag!  Blue, with white Palmetto Tree and moon :)

Here is another shot of our State House -- and that statue is of our most famous Senator - Strom Thurmond!

 

AN INTERESTING TIDBIT I LEARNED YESTERDAY REGARDING THE COLUMNS OF THE CAPITOL BUILDING.

The Corinthian columns of the State House are among THE LARGEST IN THE WORLD!  They are monolithic (cut from a single piece of stone) and stand 43 feet high.  Each column weighs 37 tons!   Wow!!

Great pictures! I have never seen the capitol building in Columbia.

I hope you'll remember me if you learn of anyone moving to "The OC" and I will do the same!

Best regards.

It's too bad that Strom Thurmond is South Carolina's most famous Senator. Unfortunately, during the last 30 or so years of his life, he became famous for all the wrong reasons.
