Robert Mills: His Plans & Buildings Exhibit May 31, 2010

The renowned creations of Robert Mills - one of the Palmetto State's most respected native sons are the focus of this special traveling exhibit. Mills is considered in many circles as this country's first and foremost architect. His 19th century designs have not only stood the test of time, but have become among the most familiar symbols of American democracy. Robert Mills: His Plans and Buildings is a collection of 16 framed panels featuring photographs of the Mills' buildings which were built in South Carolina. Each panel contains text describing the photograph and points out details unique to Robert Mills' designs. This exhibit was organized by the South Carolina State Museum, the Historic Columbia Foundation and the South Carolina Committee for the Humanities.
