RG134-14-06Description
Between 1960 and 1975, Greenville, South Carolina, became a surprising hub of Brutalist architecture, driven by local architects embracing concrete, structural honesty, and progressive design. Key figures like Jack Freeman and firms like Craig & Gaulden adapted Brutalism’s European and New England influences into public, cultural, and commercial buildings. Projects like the Greenville County Library, Little Theatre, and Daniel Building showcased bold geometry, exposed materials, and civic optimism. Inspired by architects like Paul Rudolph and Le Corbusier, Greenville’s Brutalism evolved from functionalist to formalist. By the late 1970s, however, the style waned, giving way to Postmodernism, leaving behind a distinctive architectural legacy.Collection
