| A circa 1900 snapshoot of 334 S. Broadway at the corner of W. Third & Broadway. This building and three others will be on the Upper Floor Tour on Friday, May 4 during ‘First Fridays’ |
334 and 402 are
more than a number and much more than an address on South Broadway. Since
the mid 1800's, each of these buildings housed the entrepreneurial spirit and
business ventures of pharmacists, bakers, dentists, confectioners,
restaurateurs, harness makers, grocers, home furnishings, paint, clothing and
shoe store owners.
402 S. Broadway,
formerly Bill Rogers California Beds and Bedroom Store, is a wonderful, late
1800 high Victorian Gothic Brick and Block Structure. 328, 330 and 334,
Bach to Rock since 1999, was built between 1850 and 1854 and boasts a 6-bay
stucco facade. The "upper floors" of the 334 building were home
to the Fraternal Order of the Moose from 1924 to the 1960's and today, can
still be seen with the large lodge room complete with stage.
Give yourself the
rare opportunity to view these and more "hidden gems" of Greenville’s downtown on Friday, May 4
from 6-9p.m. Meet with the owners of these historic buildings and hear
them share their vision for business and downtown living options.
This amazing tour will include 2 other "upper floor" locations and 2
bonus locations in downtown! Tickets for this tour are $5 each and are
available at Granny's Corner and Bread of Life. Tickets can also be
purchased at the door of any of the four stops during the evening event.
Also, since it is "First Fridays" downtown businesses will be
open late!
