COLUMBIA, S.C. The iconic red dome on the Babcock Building will rise again over the Columbia skyline. Developers of the BullStreet District announced Thursday, Dec. 17, that funding has been secured to start the reconstruction of the building that was heavily damaged by fire on September 12.
Clachan Properties of Richmond, VA., the owner of the building, closed on the tax credit equity and a U.S. Housing and Urban Development’s long-term, low interest loan last week that was required to help finance the costly renovation of Babcock, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
