Main Street, with its tree-lined sidewalks, has a small-town feel that hides the fact Greenville is once again a bustling city. Like some of the great cities of the Rust Belt, this city in South Carolina and seat of the eponymous county was long dominated by an industry that no longer exists.

Adams Cram, who died in 1942 at the age of 78, was one of the most prominent architects in the late 1800s and early 1900s. A practicing Episcopalian, most of his ecclesiastical works were designed for Anglicans, though he also did churches for other denominations.

It's not too late to book a trip this spring, especially during the shoulder season after Easter.
