Context

This doorstop, along with many other objects with tenuous or unknown connections to Columbia's past, was one of many pieces purchased from an estate from an early supporter of Historic Columbia. When displayed together during the 1960s, these objects ensured that the Robert Mills House presented visitors with the organization's interpretation of a home lived in by an upper-class family.
