The Raymond Price House, built in 1952, is significant for its local architectural significance. Although it is often overshadowed by the other Moderne and International Style houses in the Columbia area, it features a unique mix of Streamline Moderne and International Style architecture that is rare in Columbia and throughout South Carolina. The builder and architect of the Raymond Price House, George Price, Sr., had a history of designing Modernistic buildings. His residence next door, which he also designed, is in the Streamline Moderne style. The Raymond Price House is a two-story residence based on a L plan that features a balcony on the front over the projection and a projecting balcony on the second floor on the rear. The walls and foundation are composed of brick. The brick covers a structural steel skeleton, a characteristic of Moderne and International Style structures. Horizontal banding surrounds the rectangular windows echoing a sense of speed, as is typical in Streamline Moderne buildings and structures. The small windows reflect the sterility and lack of ornamentation of the International Style. As is customary in Moderne and International Style houses, a flat roof is present on the house. A one-story structure that is now an office is located at the southeast corner of the lot. It was built at the same time as the house and is in the same style. Listed in the National Register September 27, 2007.
