Heyward S. Singley
The Singley Apartments are named after their creator, Heyward S. Singley.
Established between 1885 and 1950, the University Hill neighborhood is listed as a Historic District in the National Register of Historic Places and is protected as an architectural conservation district by the City of Columbia. Bounded by Sumter Street, Gervais Street, Laurens Street, and Blossom Street, University Hill features homes with a mix of architectural styles and designs from prominent regional and local architects.
The Singley Apartments are located within the University Hill District. They are a landmark in Columbia and at the University of South Carolina. Maintained to preserve their historically significant architecture, these apartments evoke fond memories for thousands of inhabitants in and around Gamecock territory! Talk to a USC Alumnus and most likely they will have been or will know someone who was a Singley Apartments resident while in College!
In the past, the City of Columbia placed a historical marker on the Singley Apartment grounds denoting that Singley was a historical building within the University Hill district. Since that time the marker has mysteriously disappeared, however, the history remains unchanged.
