RG134-10-08Description
Elizabeth Peace Stall chronicles the creation of the Peace Center for the Performing Arts in Greenville, South Carolina, detailing the transformation of historic downtown buildings into a premier cultural venue. Spurred by declining downtown vitality and rising demand for arts facilities, civic leaders, donors, and planners collaborated to fund and build the center. Utilizing existing historic structures along the Reedy River, the project preserved architectural heritage while catalyzing urban revitalization. With over $42 million raised through public-private partnerships, the Peace Center opened in 1990, offering two performance halls and educational programs, significantly enriching Greenville’s cultural landscape and downtown redevelopment efforts.Collection
