Pope Davis Tire & Automotive, 1531 Taylor Street: 2020 no comments
Commenter Thomas mentioned that the Taylor Street location of Pope Davis had closed, so I went to take a look, to find that true, and the building empty. It's definitely an interesting, older, location, as you can see from the doors and fixtures in the service area. The company remains in town, and it looks like the next closest location is probably on Assembly Street.

UPDATE 19 August 2023: The State says SC may make this a landmark:
Now, state Rep. Seth Rose, D-Richland, is hoping to cement the building as a Columbia landmark and redevelop it. Columbia’s Design, Development Review Commission gave the move initial approval Thursday.
