F. P. Joy & Company

 

In 1870, W. S. Dann opened a small one room store at this location. Additions were built in 1880 and 1886. Mr. Dann was one of those most interested in the founding of Greenville College. F. P. Joy joined Dann within a few months of the store's opening and later came to be the store's owner in 1895. F. P. Joy & Co. employed 15-18 clerks in their general store and 3 or 4 more in their clothing department.
