Neighborhood Unity and Community Pride

Families, schools, and businesses flourished in Downtown. Prominent individuals who lived and worked here included educational leaders, businessmen and women, doctors, and lawyers. Many residents owned their homes. Sycamore Hill Missionary Baptist Church, located on the corner of First and Greene Streets, was the heart of the community—a place to gather, worship, sing, learn, and celebrate. The church still exists, now in its third location in Greenville.
