The building sits on Redding Street in central Greenville and is easy to reach on foot to view the exterior and wraparound porch. It now operates as Grace Manor Inn, offering overnight stays that allow visitors to experience the interior spaces with their original stained glass, woodwork, and period details.
The third floor was designed for staff and support functions with simpler finishes and original wash basins still attached to the walls, revealing how different living conditions were between guests and employees. This hidden story of class separation remains visible in the building's details.
