I'm going to ask a really stupid question:

Is it possible to knock down a load-bearing wall but keep the load bearing part?

Like, can we keep a column or something there and still open up the space?

All depends on the situation, but from what little carpentry I know, you usually can as long as you can substitute something that can support the load.

Its not something I would attempt as a small time DIY-er.
