During the course of the historic architectural survey of unincorporated Greenville County, we identified 1,100 historic architectural resources of which 20 are recommended individually eligible for listing in the [National Register of Historic Properties]. An additional six areas are recommended for future intensive survey, as they have the potential to be NRHP-eligible districts. These include Conestee Mill Village, the Piedmont Mill Village, the communities of Slater and Fork Shoals, and the communities surrounding the Union and Renfrew Bleacheries. The remaining resources of the survey universe are recommended not eligible for listing."--Page iii.
