Abstract:

The Old Brick Store on Evans Street, the first brick store building in Greenville, has been hidden from the world by several renovations in its history. Built by George E. B. Singletary in 1855, the store served as Confederate quarters in the Civil War. In 1875, Samuel M. Schultz opened a grocery store there and began a 20 year stay that made the place famous. Later the building was used as dental office, newspaper office and other grocery stores. In 1913, the building became the Greenville Banking and Trust Company (later Guaranty Bank).
