The East Commerce Street Historic District is a historic district in Greenville, Alabama. The district contains Greenville's oldest commercial buildings, as well as the Butler County Courthouse. The first courthouse on the site was built in 1822; the current, fourth, courthouse was completed in 1903. The commercial buildings date from the 1880s through 1928 and are primarily vernacular brick structures. A fire in 1927 destroyed many buildings along Commerce Street. A National Guard Armory was built south of the courthouse, on Conecuh Street, by the Works Progress Administration in 1936. [2]
The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. [1]
