National Loan & Exchange Bank Building
Title
National Loan & Exchange Bank Building
Description
This view faces NW at the corner of Main Street and Maxwell Avenue.
The National Loan and Exchange Building was built in 1914. The Bank eventually failed and the building was purchased in the 1930s by a pharmacist named Samuel Hodges and it became known as the Hodges building.
Later, until the mid-1960s when Greenwood Mills bought the building, County Bank occupied the space. It is now known as the Greenwood Building. (cf. Index Journal, 25 Aug 1991, p. 15)
The building attached in the back to the left was the Oregon Hotel, also built in 1914.
The small building attached to the right is the current location of McCaslan's Bookstore.
On the far right of the image is the US Post Office, now the Arts Center of Greenwood.
The low set building on the far left was the Greenwood Grocery Company, a major supplier for the city and surrounding area.
