Located in the Greenwood historic district, this historic commercial building was originally constructed around 1917 and is often referred to as the "Gentleman's Choice Building" after one of its past uses as a men's clothing store. The property sits in the vibrant Uptown Greenwood area, part of a revitalized historic district with shops, restaurants, events, and cultural spots.
At approximately 4,684 sq ft across two main levels plus a basement, the ground floor features retail space with original hardwood floors, chandeliers, ghost murals, a back office, a potential loading dock, and an accessible restroom. The upper floor (accessed separately) includes an open layout with seven private office suites, a shared kitchenette, two bathrooms, and a large smart boardroom. The primary upper suite offers great views of Main Street activities like festivals and parades.
Historic Features include exposed and restored murals (originally on an adjacent building wall, like McCaslan’s Bookstore), original tilework, and address lettering. It celebrated its centennial in 2017, and the building received rehabilitation incentives (e.g., Bailey Bill/special assessment) in the mid-2010s for preservation and adaptive reuse. Being in the heart of Uptown Greenwood’s historic commercial district, the property benefits from festivals, high foot traffic, and a focus on preservation-based economic development.
Currently, the ground floor houses the retail business “Rugs of Distinction” (a luxury Persian rug purveyor). The upper level is currently being leased out on a case-by-case basis to short-term and special event users.
