The Vault

The Vault

 In 1950, the vault entrances were relocated from the main banking hall to a more discreet position behind the teller’s counter. Today, the original vault doors remain in place, adding a distinctive architectural feature and a unique sense of flow to the event space. 

The Library

 Once the bank’s original boardroom, The Library exudes timeless sophistication. Featuring original crown molding, stone walls, vintage flooring, and a grand gas fireplace as its centerpiece, this richly detailed space offers an intimate and refined setting—perfect for smaller gatherings, private dinners, or executive meetings that deserve a touch of historic charm. 

The Terrace & Mezzanine

Exterior brick building with a metal staircase leading upwards.

  Spanning three levels of distinctive indoor and outdoor event spaces, this exceptional venue provides a rare opportunity to host gatherings in one of downtown Columbia’s only publicly available rooftop terraces—offering an unbeatable location, exclusive privacy, and breathtaking views of the city skyline. The mezzanine level, which overlooks the historic charm of the National Republic Ballroom below, features a partially open design that maintains a sense of privacy, making it an ideal setting for bridal parties, breakout sessions, cocktail hours, and more. What’s more, the mezzanine offers direct access to the rooftop terrace, allowing guests to seamlessly enjoy both indoor elegance and outdoor ambiance throughout the event. This versatile combination of spaces blends intimacy, historic character, and modern sophistication to create unforgettable experiences at every level.
