The Lampton/Thompson/Bourne House is a well-preserved example of a transitional Queen Anne/Colonial Revival house designed by the recognized late-19th and early-20th-century architect George F. Barber, who specialized in mail-order house plans. It is apparently a close copy of Barber's own house in Knoxville, which has not survived. It was built in 1907-08 by H.D. "Dud" Lampton, the son of a business and civic leader, who married Mattie Ford, daughter of prominent Columbia physician Dr. T.B. Ford. Also located on the property are a one story wood frame cottage (c.1908), a one story wood frame barn (c 1908), and one story wood frame garage (c.1915). This house was individually listed on the National Register on 5 November 1998, from a nomination prepared by Joan Embree. It was later included as a "previously listed" element (element #109) in the Broad Street-Church Street Historic District, which was placed on the National Register on 8 July 2008. |
