1009-1015 Gervais Street
By 1900, Gervais Street’s 1000 block was predominantly residential interspersed with various businesses, including black- and white-owned barbershops, a watchmaker, and the Congaree Hotel, which dominated the north side of the street. Change came in 1920 with the construction of the current two-part, two-story building, erected as a dry goods retail and wholesale store.
