Our Home
A strong family is built upon a strong foundation - both figuratively and literally. For Permanent Equity, our physical home is the 19th Century Elkins House in beautiful downtown Columbia, Missouri.
The Victorian-style home was built in 1882 for Samuel and Isabel Elkins. The house has had ties to investing and business from the start; Mr. Elkins was a venture capitalist and entrepreneur, and later served as the city's postmaster.
Over the course of seven months, the house was renovated to provide Permanent Equity with a permanent home, serving as our daily workplace, a gathering space for events and discussions, and also, with a studio and an apartment attached, a place to stay when guests come to town.
If you are ever in Columbia, we invite you to visit us on Tenth Street.
