Description

Greetings from Greenville: The Golden Age of Post Cards (1900–1930) by Richard D. Sawyer captures the transformation of Greenville, South Carolina, through vintage postcards and historical commentary. These images document iconic landmarks such as the Reedy River Falls, Furman University, and the Camperdown Mills. They depict churches, hotels, mills, and civic buildings, many funded or influenced by Vardry McBee. The postcards reflect a city in transition—from a mill-centered economy to a growing urban hub. The collection highlights architectural changes, cultural sites, and urban growth, offering a nostalgic yet informative glimpse into Greenville’s rich early 20th-century history.
