205 W 6TH STREET - FLEMING HOUSE

 FLEMING HOUSE


The Fleming House is located at 205 W 6th Street (35.61638N 87.03609W). It was built ca 1890. The house is a 2 story, red brick, late Victorian style house. I do not know anything about its history. I do have personal memories of it. In 1970 when I lived in Columbia for six months, this house was next door to a Dairy Queen. Every time we went to the DQ I noticed it. At the time, the house looked like it was used as an antique furniture store. At least the porch  ringing around three sides of the house was cluttered with old furniture.
