17 PICKNEY STREET, Featured on the national historic registry, is brimming with holiday cheer of Greenville’s past, present, and future. The Hampton-Pinckney Historic district is one of Greenville’s oldest existing residential neighborhoods, originally developed by “the Father of Greenville” himself, Vardry McBee, and his children. Hampton Avenue was the first street to be developed beginning in the 1890s, and Pinckney Street soon followed beginning in development in the early 1900s.

Built in 1908 by J.P. Rickman, founder of Fourth National Bank of Greenville, which merged with First National Bank of Greenville in 1919, 17 Pinckney has been meticulously maintained over the years, even featured as the Junior League of Greenville’s show home in the 1980s. The current owners are only the third family to ever own and live in there.

The current owners are known for their festive holiday parties, and traditional furnishing style yearround that compliments the original architecture of the home. “When you live in a historic home,” says the owner, “I prefer to decorate in keeping with the historic style of the home. The décor you see has been curated over the course of 25 years, as a labor of love.” And don’t worry—Santa always knew which of the eight fireplaces to come down!
