Designed by architect Flavius Crocker for a local railroad magnate and banker,
this 1892 Shingle-style mansion is located adjacent to the campus of Greenville
College, a Christian school. It was donated 20 years ago to the college for use
as the President’s house. Instead, it was used for student housing, has been
vacant for seven years, and was poorly maintained. It is currently slated for
demolition. In the past ten years, the college has demolished nearly seven city
blocks of historic homes. Local advocates, including the donor’s family, have
committed funds for the house’s rehabilitation, contingent upon the college
rescinding ownership.
