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.
