The Building at 1644 Main Street, also known as Tapp's Department Store, stands as a historic commercial landmark in Columbia, South Carolina. Constructed in 1940 and expanded in 1950, this five- to seven-story Depression Modern structure features a striking façade of stucco and dark tremolite stone.
Above the entrance, a distinctive clock face and large freestanding letters adorn the building, adding to its unique charm. Once a bustling department store, Tapp's Department Store closed its doors in 1995, leaving behind a legacy that earned it a spot on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
