Columbia, South Carolina, Postcard History Series

With Columbia, South Carolina: A Postcard History, Dave and Marty Sennema have assembled an unprecedented collection of picture postcards to create a retrospective of the area from the early 1900s through the 1950s. Here you will find dramatic images of businesses, street scenes, hotels, office buildings, and homes. Even more
fascinating are the buildings which have, over the years, been recycled and used to house various businesses and educational institutions.

Dave and Martha Sennema met in 1957 on the stage of the Town Theater in Columbia, South Carolina. Their lifelong dedication to the arts through work with organizations like the South Carolina State Museum and the South Carolina Arts Commission combined with their interest in history and affection for postcard collecting contributes greatly to this fascinating trip back to a simpler time.
