GREYHOUND BUS STATION GRAND OPENING 1937

All of the ads on this page appeared in the Charleston Gazette and Daily Mail in 1937

 

The new Greyhound Terminal on Summers Street was very big news!

The interior was large and had everything from a cafe, to a  Telegraph to a barber shop and shoe shine parlor.  The bus station was the hub of Charleston, like most other cities.

 

The 1937 Greyhound had Art Deco written all over it's design,  just like the bus station itself.

Only the Carey Sign Company could produce the kind of sign that  would be the Hallmark of the new bus station.  Carey specialized in neon signs and had many throughout the city.

The president of Atlantic Greyhound was a local Charleston boy.  Arthur Hill held many jobs that oddly enough, had little to do with public transportation.  He however parlayed this experience into becoming president of the company.

Agsten is considered arguably the premiere builder in the valley and continues today.
