VERSIONS OF THIS BILL

4/1/2009

TO RECOGNIZE THE HERITAGE NEIGHBORHOOD IN GREENVILLE COUNTY AND TO HONOR AND CONGRATULATE ITS RESIDENTS UPON THE CELEBRATION OF ITS ONE HUNDREDTH ANNIVERSARY ON MAY 2, 2009.

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are pleased to recognize the significant impact the Heritage Neighborhood in the City of Greenville has had on the development and prosperity of our State; and

Whereas, boasting some one hundred twenty-six structures in a variety of twentieth-century styles, the original neighborhood was subdivided in 1909, but the agricultural endeavors of vineyards and the operation of a dairy continued while construction of the homes began slowly; and

Whereas, organized in 1939, St. George Greek Orthodox Cathedral made settlement in the neighborhood attractive to Greek immigrants and families of Greek origin, and is the source of the cultural history of the area; and

Whereas, the Honorable Nick Theodore, whose public service to the Palmetto State includes a tenure as Lieutenant Governor from 1987 to 1995, is among the prominent Greek residents who lived in the Heritage Neighborhood; and

Whereas, it has also served as home to many prominent Greenvillians, such as Captain John Barrett Marshall who attended Furman University, practiced law in Greenville, and served as its Mayor from 1909 to 1911 and from 1913 to 1915; and

Whereas, during World War II almost every family in the neighborhood had sons who fought courageously for our nation, and many made the ultimate sacrifice for liberty; and

Whereas, throughout the neighborhood mature hardwood trees grace the wending sidewalks with distinctive granite curbs, and residences still maintain their original appearance with few alterations while many remain in the same families who have lived in them for decades; and

Whereas, in recognition of its significant role in the Greenville community and the contribution to the architecture of the city, the Heritage Neighborhood area was designated as a local historic district in 2001; and

Whereas, the House of Representatives is pleased to acknowledge the beauty and contributions the Heritage Neighborhood has brought to the City of Greenville and to our fine State. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize the Heritage Neighborhood in Greenville County and honor and congratulate its residents upon the celebration of its one hundredth anniversary on May 2, 2009.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be provided to the Heritage Neighborhood.
