Abstract:

C. Heber Forbes, a leading merchant in Greenville, renovated the old Anderson house on the corner of Tenth and Cotanche Streets into one of the most memorable houses in Greenville. Forbes went to St. Louis and bought the interior furnishings from a house owned by the Lambert family, makers of Listerine mouthwash. He purchased architectural details, mantels, mouldings, lighting, silk covered chairs, thick wool carpets and other French style furnishings and brought it all back to Greenville by train. The house was gutted and dissembled in 1976 and taken to Simpson, NC.

Abstract:

Gianino Fine Studio Furniture could measure its historic value in handmade items, such as a cherry fall-front desk made in the 1820s and molding planes dating from the nineteenth century. Its personal value could be measured in a trade passed down three generations and tools belonging to grandparents, donated to Gianino to perpetuate their use.

Abstract:

Spotlighting musical legends such as Joe Morris, Amzi Ellington, Bill Riggins, Billy Taylor, and Billy Myles was a way to acknowledge contributors to the Big Band genre perhaps unknown outside of North Carolina.
