The Summit Club Histoire
The Summit Club, founded in 1972 by a group of business and professional leaders, has a purpose to provide a superior entertainment and meeting place; one of dignity, both in physical elegance and in the character of its membership.
From atop the twentieth floor, in regal 18th century appointments, members and guests enjoy a commanding view of Columbia, the State Capitol, the University of South Carolina, and historic Trinity Cathedral.
The coat of arms portrays a prosperous crossroads city springing from the intersection of Gervais and Sumter Streets. Situated in a “Rich and Fertile Land,” Richland County. The columbs, or doves, signify the city at the heart of this land. The silver tower of the crest represents the building at this intersection, of which the club is the Summit.
