Greer Post Office, Historic postal building in Greer, South Carolina.
Greer Post Office is a brick building in Colonial Revival style, marked by symmetrical windows and a central entrance with classical details. Today it houses the Greer Heritage Museum at 106 South Main Street, displaying exhibits on local history, Native Americans, and the textile industry.
The building was constructed in 1935 during the New Deal era and operated as a post office until 1964. It then served as Greer City Hall from 1968 to 2008 before becoming a museum.
A 1940 mural inside depicts agricultural workers harvesting cotton and peaches, reflecting the crops that shaped the region's economy. The artwork by Winfield Walkley remains visible and shows what farming meant to local people at that time.
Visit during daytime when the museum is open, and check ahead for current visiting hours to plan your trip. The building sits centrally on Main Street in downtown Greer and is easily accessible on foot.
The Treasury Department commissioned this building, designed by architect Donald G. Anderson, making it one of thirteen federal projects from that era in South Carolina. This connection links it to a nationwide effort to modernize rural communities during the economic downturn.
