The first G.S.&A. electric interurban passenger train operated out of Greer. On October 15, 1913, The Barnum & Bailey Circus came to Greenville!
Regularly scheduled service was indeed announced effective December 7, 1913 between Greer and Greenville.
Constructed in 1913, Charles Christian Hook of Charlotte, North Carolina, designed the depot as a combination passenger station and freight warehouse for the Piedmont & Northern Railway, later used by the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad, Seaboard System Railroad and finally CSX Transportation, before facing potential demolition in 1984.
