Abstract:

At different times called the Clark Hotel, Eagle Hotel, Union Hotel, Macon House, Hotel Macon and the Macon Hotel, this building had an important place in Greenville's past. Margaret Salter first sold lots to Richard Evans in 1826. After passing through several hands, the property was bought by Dr. John G. James (1823-1888), who sold it to E.B. Moore. Moore lost it because of debts to J.B. Cherry. Cherry, however, allowed Moore to operate the hotel. Later, the property went to Charles Skinner, who sold it to Mary Harrington. In 1922, she sold it to Dr. Louis C. Skinner. The building was demolished during the 1960s--a victim of redevelopment.
