As I think I said recently, I first became aware of Havens<\/i> many years ago when they were on Devine Street<\/a> and sold pianos. My parents bought one, and perforce signed us up for piano lessons in the Havens<\/i> electric piano studio. At some point after that, they opened a \"frame it yourself\" cubicle at the back of the store, something my mother was very interested in, buying a number of frames and mattes there for her various projects. Gradually the frame operation took over the store: Havens<\/i> stopped selling pianos, and the framing operation moved from do-it-yourself to full service.<\/p>\n

I'm not sure when they moved from Devine<\/i> to Gervais<\/i>, but they were certainly in this building when I moved back to Columbia in the early 2000s. As I recall, I used them once to frame one of my photographs, and thought they did a very good job. With the razing of this building, they have moved across the parking lot to 1620 Gervais, and are still open.<\/p>\n

This building has featured here before, when I did a closing for Doc's Gumbo Grille & Back Porce Cafe<\/a>, which were located in the back part of the building. Since then, the restaurant space was 1616 Gervais<\/i>, which seems to have closed around 2019.<\/p>\n
