Spartanburg Revisited
The father-son photography team of Alfred Tennyson and Robert H. “Bob” Willis documented over eighty years of Spartanburg history. This book revisits their work with new photographs by Carroll Foster and Mark Olencki. For the first time, vintage Willis photographs appear alongside contemporary versions of existing street corners and buildings. The “then and now” presentation reveals a Southern city in transition and makes a case for preservation of the treasures of our past.

South of Main
More than 1,400 neighborhoods in the United States, most of them
African-American, were leveled in the name of urban renewal during the
mid-twentieth century. South of Main recreates the culture and history
of just one of those, the South side of Spartanburg, South Carolina,
founded in the 1860s by a group of ex-slaves who lived together at the
end of a dusty road called Liberty Street.
