'I want the description to be next to the images

I really have thrown this together through trial and error so its probably all wrong. Just now I tried adding float: right; to the .detail_image_description because of a suggestion that popped up. I want the description to run at the same level as both of the images so that it describes both.

EDIT: I think I corrected the errors that I had originally in my html. I would like to have two semi large images to the left (my left) of the page with a one block of text for both to the right of those images. I would also like to have this page static as far as the browser size/shape. If CSS Grid is an option; Does this require additional hacks for various browsers? What is convention? I think at this point I am going to ignore mobile use of the site.

(completely edited after comments of the OP and my answers to them, in order to show what I had suggested in the comments)

Apply float: left and clear: left to the image containers to have the text at their right side and continue below them.

That's the basics you need, from there you can continue to fine-tune the settings.

body {
  background-color: #ecf0f1;
  display: block;
  margin: 0;
}

.detail_image_title {
  padding: 20px;
  font-family: "BebasNeue-Regular";
  font-size: 3rem;
  font-weight: 10;
  color: #c1cdcd;
  text-align: center;
}

.detail_image_column {
  padding: 35px;
}

.detail_image_description {
  font-family: "ClementePDaa-Hairline";
  font-size: 1.2rem;
  color: #000000;
}

.detail_image_column {
  float: left;
  clear: left;
}

I think some pseuedo elements like ::before and ::after to show some thing exactly before or after another element or you can use styles like position with relative value and then put spaces from each side you want, like this:

position:relative; left:10px;
