Wyche Pavilion

The Wyche Pavilion is a two-story open-air structure positioned beside the Reedy River in downtown Greenville. The building features large windows, a central cupola, and an adaptable interior space used for various gatherings.

The structure was originally built in 1904 as a paint shop for the Greenville Coach Factory and later shifted to housing Duke's Mayonnaise production from the 1920s. Its industrial past shaped the character that remains visible in the space today.

The building was converted into an event space by the Peace Center, with the name honoring local donors who supported downtown revitalization. Visitors can see how the original industrial structure was adapted while keeping its open-air character for modern community use.

The pavilion is situated on South Main Street and easily accessible by foot from the riverfront and downtown core. Being an open-air structure, it functions in various seasons, though weather conditions can affect indoor-outdoor transitions.

In 2019, the Design Review Board rejected plans to enclose the space with windows and modern mechanical systems. This decision preserved the original open-air concept that defines the building's character today.
