Columbia Bible College, 1837-1960

In 1937 Columbia Bible College (now Columbia International University) acquired the Ainsley Hall House, designed by Robert Mills.  The students housed here were trained for Christian service around the world.  In 1960 CBC moved to its present campus in north Columbia.  The Robert Mills House has been operated as a house museum since 1967 by the Historic Columbia Foundation.
