Abstract:
Kammerer gives the history of the Bertha Hotel and the Vines House. The Bertha Hotel was the first commercial hotel built in Greenville. Benjamin F. Patrick built the Bertha Hotel near the northwest corner of Fifth and Evans streets in 1900. He hired C. C. Vines and wife to run it. They left in 1913 and opened the Vines House. By 1920, the Bertha was known as the Princeton Hotel. The Princeton burned in 1925 and it was rebuilt. The Vines House was a boarding house built in 1913 by C. C. Vines and wife, located on the southeast corner of Pitt and Fifth Streets. Mr. Vines died in 1917 and the city bought the house for a teacherage. It was leased to the Salvation Army as a USO in WWII and later served as a boarding house until it was torn down in 1970. Benjamin F. Patrick built the Bertha Hotel on the northwest corner of Fifth and Evans streets in 1900. The Vines House, a boarding house built in 1913 by Mr. and Mrs. Charles Carson Vies, was located on the southeast corner of Pitt and Fifth Streets.
