Our Hidden Gems’
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!
