The Champion and Pearson Funeral Home is a historic commercial building at 1325 Park Street in Columbia, South Carolina. Built in 1929, it is an architecturally eclectic landmark in an area that was traditionally a center of African-American economic activity in the city. It was built by the Pearson family to serve as a funeral parlor and residence for the family, during the height of the Jim Crow era. The property was used as a funeral home until 1966.[2]
The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.[1]
