Where we worked: Wilson Marble & Granite Company.
Freddie Sauls‘ death certificate reveals that he, like Clarence B. Best, worked for a marble company in Wilson. City directories show that Sauls and Turner Mitchell were employed as stone polishers as early as 1912. They likely worked for E.L. Cobb’s Wilson Marble and Granite Company (also known circa 1920 as Wilson Marble, Mantle & Tile), which was established in 1908 and succeeded J.C. Lanier’s Wilson Marble Company, which was active as early as 1891. Cobb’s business operated at 108 West Nash Street, then 106 North Railroad.

Dickinson Avenue building owners want rezoning change
The owner of a century-old building in the downtown Dickinson Avenue corridor is seeking a zoning change that could allow more growth in the district. ELKCO LLC, a Charlotte- based company, requested a nearly 7,000-square-foot structure on Dickinson Avenue, about 60 feet southwest of Ficklen Street, be changed from downtown commercial fringe to downtown commercial zoning. The Greenville Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously voted to recommend the request at its Oct. 20 meeting. The request now goes to Greenville City Council for final approval. According to Pitt County tax records, the building, which was built in 1922, has four address numbers: 807, 809, 811 and 813. It has housed a variety of tenants, including the studio of sculptor Jonathan Bowling. The building was zoned downtown commercial fringe in the late 1960s, according to the commission’s meeting materials. Assistant Director of Planning Chantae Gooby said there are a few areas with downtown commercial fringe zoning left in the area. When a building almost runs to the property line, it’s a much more appropriate zoning, she said, because downtown commercial doesn’t have setbacks, vegetation or parking requirements. The downtown commercial zoning generally is for entertainment, recreation, urban office and retail uses. Microbreweries
