Lexington is a suburb in Columbia, SC, with a population of 24,208. This city was officially formed in January 1820 as Lexington Courthouse. It changed its name to Lexington in 1895. In the early stages, this city was a small village with just a courthouse, jail, tavern, blacksmith shop, two stores, and three dwellings. St. Stephen's Lutheran Church was constructed in 1831 as the first church in the town. A second courthouse and jail were built in 1838. Federal troops burned the town in 1865, but it continued on. Another fire-related tragedy hit the town in 1916, which destroyed almost all of the buildings in the business district.
Over a dozen buildings in Lexington are on the National Register of Historic Places. The Ballentine-Shealy House, a one-and-a-half-story log residence, dates back to the late 1700s to early 1800s. Bank of Western Carolina is one of the few buildings to survive the 1916 fire. Today, it has been transformed into a Thai restaurant named Bodhi Thai. The William Berly House is a two-story clapboard home with four square columns and a large porch. You can also see a former ice house on the property.
