About 

For years we have imagined what is now in fact happening, a slow but steady revival of an every-year-more-lively-and-livable downtown Spartanburg. We have tried to do our part. Brother Stan and Terry Hill, two really great contractors, gutted and fixed up each of the houses until they were beautifully restored to their original condition, but with all the modern stuff. Trina scrounged around for years to find cool furniture from each home’s original era. The idea is to make apartments that have the feel of the old days, each handcrafted and hand furnished, with comfortable rooms to live in and big windows to look out of, for those who don’t want to live in a cookie-cutter modern apartment, us thinking that downtown was probably going to come back. And our gamble paid off, since, as we improved the insides, others kindly improved the outside, starting up walking-distance coffee shops and restaurants, building a park for us, and making safe places to wander. We sort of gambled that downtown Spartanburg would gradually become the homey, safe, comfortable place it was long ago, and the gamble has paid off; now it is that place.
