Renaissance in Columbia 1898-2011, Part II

Read Part I, from Friday, 10-11-2018: JIM - Renaissance in Columbia 1898-1911

By Jim

Mr. J.O. Russell, of Russell & Co. (formerly Russell & Murrell) fame, purchased the Isenberg Corner at the entrance corner of Jamestown Street in 1906. Almost three years later, he purchased from Capt. W.W. Bradshaw the adjacent lot facing on the square, a part of which he then sold, but the remainder of that tract combined with the adjoining Isenberg property gave sufficient room for two adjoined business houses,

In March 1909, a crew began demolishing the rickety old building there, and construction on a new one started in May. By the end of January, 1910, the Read Hardware Co. had moved into the building on the away side of Jamestown Street and stocking merchandise and was open for business. In early April, the newspaper reported that a freight elevator, likely the first elevator in the county, had been installed "to be used in conveying vehicles to the second story".
