The land belonged to the James Boyce and Rowley families until the turn of the century.[4] At that time, the land was divided into multiple lots, development increased, and several new streets were added.[4] It was home to the prominent business people and mill owners in the area.[4]
Nominated in 1981, the Pettigru Street Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 making it the largest district in the city.[4][5] It is one of several historic listings in the town of Greenville. The district is a mixture of both commercial and residential properties, but remains largely residential to this day.[5] Key properties include the Poinsett Club on East Washington Street, Hayne School on Toy Street, and Pettigru Place Bed and Breakfast on Pettigru Street.[3]
