This is the view from the kitchen area looking out the front windows of the spacious downtown apartment home on the Public Square. The City of Columbia is researching grants and possibilities for helping owners of historic buildings on the Square but the Harris family had already restored their building and created the apartment on the second floor. They share their story to help others know what it's like to live above the Square and also glimpse what it's like to follow their calling to downsize.

View from the Harris' home above the business

Dr. Laura Harris shared time for a tour of her home on the second floor of their restored building on the Public Square in Columbia. Her front windows allow views of activities on the Greensburg and Jamestown Street entries. In a building that is rich in history, restored several years ago by she and her husband Mike, Red Brick recording studios fills the lower floor. The second floor was made into an apartment for guests while recording in Columbia and in April 2018, in a move to follow her calling to downsize, it became their home.

Daffodil Watch 2019: high traffic corner is no bother

2019-04-10 - Downtown Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com
Some of the prettiest Daffodils in the area wave in the heavy traffic at the corner of Burkesville and West Guardian Streets in Columbia. If memory serves, these are the result of volunteer grant writing, winning, followed by art work and planting downtown by Vonnie Kolbenschlag. It's a reminder that the Adair Garden Club work will also be brightening up Columbia.
