CELEBRATING 100 YEARS IN BEAUTIFUL DOWNTOWN GREENVILLE!
DOWNTOWN GREENVILLE, SC 29601
Welcome
to the
Circa 1917 Prevost Apartments Home Page |
Downtown Greenville, SC 29601 in the Pettigru Historic
District is THE place to be! Here is our story:
It required more than 15 months of gently renovating, rewiring, steam cleaning,
glazing, sanding, painting, remodeling, updating, rebuilding to restore the historic
elegance that once was the Prevost Apartments. Working with the
South Carolina
Department of History and Archives, we have transformed these lovely,
historically significant, circa 1917
buildings into a charming, secure, comfortable presence in the beautiful, Pettigru
Historic District -- possibly the most desirable location in downtown
Greenville. Many attorney and professional offices in this area. Our
three buildings are certified by the National Park Service and listed in the
National Register of Historic Places. Each building has a beautiful
plaque.

LOCATION,
LOCATION, LOCATION...
And, what a great location! We are walking
distance [3-6 blocks] from: Publix grocery store & shopping
center on E. McBee Ave, Cleveland Park, Bi Lo Center, Peace Center and Main Street.
In warm weather, on Thursdays and Fridays at 6:00 PM, Greenville's Main
Street is closed to traffic and downtown becomes a big party! It is great fun to
walk only 6 blocks to Main Street, eat dinner with friends and enjoy the jazz
bands.
Our apartments are currently leased with all
friendly, helpful tenants. They can help you learn your way around
Greenville.
We have even leased a number of apts sight unseen and the
tenants are very happy.

Visit our HISTORY Page to read the
interesting information about the history of the Apartments. In 1949, the
Apartments were placed in a Trust by Gerda Luyties Prevost. Unfortunately, after
her death they
were allowed to deteriorate. However, the Trust ended
in September 2002, and the Prevost Apartments became the property
of the Prevosts' only grand daughter, Elena Prevost Lamberson, who lives
with her family on Johns Island, near Charleston, SC. Elena and Gary
Lamberson proceeded with a massive historical renovation project with the
help of many talented individuals.
