 Buncombe Street Methodist Church,
originally known as Greenville Methodist Church, was first organized as a
religious body in the 1820's. It wasn't until 1832 that Vardry McBee deeded
to the church some land on Coffee Street, just opposite Christ Episcopal Church.
The Methodist Church became the third church in the city of Greenville to
be built, after the Episcopal and Baptist. In 1872, the church relocated to
Buncombe Street and built the present Classic-Revival building. Since then,
the church has undergone significant renovations and enlargements, and in
time has become the matriarch of many of the city's present-day Methodist
churches.
