Summary
[edit]DescriptionBabcock Building, Former South Carolina State Hospital, Columbia, SC - 53387476344.jpg |
English: Built between 1858 and 1885, this Renaissance Revival-style building was designed by George E. Walker, Gustavus T. Berg, and Samuel Sloan to serve as the main building of the South Carolina State Hospital, a psychiatric hospital, and was a partial kirkbride plan building, with multiple wards in wings extending from a central wing, which housed the hospital’s administrative offices. The building’s initial section, constructed in 1857-1858 was designed by George E. Walker, who designed the south wing, but died before the structure was completed, and the southernmost section of this wing was finally completed after a long delay, in 1870-1876, due to the US Civil War. The north wing, built in 1880-1882, was designed by Gustavus T. Berg, and matched the south wing in appearance and layout, with a lack of sufficient funds due to the devastation of the US Civil War leading to major delays in the construction of this portion of the building. Finally, in 1883-1885, the central wing of the building was designed by Samuel Sloan and constructed, tying the two sections of the building together, and finally allowing the overcrowding of the older Mills Building to be alleviated. The building features a red brick exterior with stone trim, quoins, pediments, double-hung windows with metal security grilles, decorative cornices, rusticated brick bases on the north and south wings, a cupola with a large dome and pilasters, a raised, front portico with fluted doric columns and a cornice with modillions, and decorative pediments over the third-story windows on the front facade of the central wing. The building served as a psychiatric hospital until 1996, housing patients during the entire time. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981. After the closure of the hospital, the building housed some of the offices of the Department of Mental Health, before becoming vacant for about two decades, during which time the building deteriorated. In 2020, while undergoing rehabilitation for adaptive reuse as apartments, the central wing of the building was gutted by a massive fire, which destroyed the interior, as well as the original dome and roof. After the fire, the remaining masonry exterior walls were stabilized, and the historic exterior elements destroyed by the fire were carefully reconstructed, restoring the exterior to its original circa 1885 appearance. Today, the building houses apartments, and is surrounded by a new neighborhood known as the Bull Street district, which is full of mixed-use apartment buildings, a baseball stadium, and grassy lawns covered in trees, which surround the remaining historic state hospital buildings. |
