    My home town. I recognize 3 of these. Used to ride my bike to the top left corner one. They had a free puppet show for kids once a week over the summer. Fun times:-)

    Thank you for this wonderful and informative video! My husband and I were married on the front porch of the Gassaway Mansion in 1999. Such a beautiful place! I was always fascinated by the history of the house and it was a dream come true to be married there! I enjoyed hearing about all the other beautiful homes in Greenville as well. I hope you do more of these in the future!

    This brought back so many memories. I was born and raised in Greenville, S.C. I know where every house is located in your video. I have been to most of the homes in this video.
    I drove a school bus for a school field trip in 1985 and it was a tour of some of Greenville's historic homes. There is a rich history in Greenville. I know the area has changed a lot over the past 15 years.
    It's good to see it's past thanks for sharing this. I'm looking forward to your next video.

    I live in southern Greenville County. I have always loved that house on 25 (Fork Shoals) I have always wanted to go inside it. I hope they finally fix the house up to its former glory!
    I heard a rumor that Doc Holiday had stayed at that house. Not sure if it true. I remember when The Wilkins house on Augusta st to Mills Ave.

    I just moved here wondered what that Wilkins house was all about. But once it’s moved it’s totally changed as you can see as it sits on the truck. So it’s not the same as it once was correct?

    • @placesandspacesintime4417
      @placesandspacesintime4417  Рік тому

      The way it looks now is how it looked when it was originally built. After Ms. Wilkins died, it was sold to a local funeral home, and they painted the house white. Once it was moved to its current location, it was brought back to its original look. Thank you for watching!
