The Lace House, also known as the Robertson House, is a historic home located in Columbia, South Carolina. Built in 1854, the house is a two-story, five-bay, frame dwelling sitting on an English basement.

The property is notable for its two-story, projecting front porch. This porch features ornate cast iron supports along with railings and trim designed to look like delicate lace.

The house is located in Columbia Historic District I and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1969. Today, the historic site at 803 Richland Street is used as a wedding venue.
