Where History
Meets Creativity
Honoring a historic past while creating space for Columbia’s next creators.
Standing at the corner of Main and Blanding since the early 1900s, Tapp’s has long been a symbol of Columbia’s downtown spirit. Known for its Art Moderne architecture and the beloved phrase “Meet Me at Tapp’s,” it was once the heart of the city’s retail scene. Generations remember the Fountain Room, the bold signage, and the sense of community that made Tapp’s a true downtown icon.
