We grew up in this neighborhood (Hillbrook) during the 1970s and 1980s. At that point in time, it was one of the premiere upper middle-class neighborhoods of the city. Some of our favorite childhood memories involved biking these streets during the summer to get to the refreshing waters of the Hillbrook Swimming Pool. (It is located through the woods right behind The Artist’s Bungalow, alongside the Little League baseball field. During the spring, you will likely hear cheers from baseball games; in summer, you might hear the swim league meets.) We both attended Jesse Boyd Elementary School (which is right down the road) and graduated from Spartanburg High School – so we know Spartanburg like the back of our hand. After college and a four-year adventure in Alaska, we moved back to Spartanburg. By then, we had a daughter and we wanted her to grow up near our families. This house on Henson Street holds so many special memories for us. When it snowed during winter months, we loved to sled down the driveway and then warm up in front of the gas logs fireplace. During the summer months, we grilled out most nights on the deck and watched fireflies in the woods. Our son-in-law even proposed to our daughter while she was playing the piano in the den. When we moved to the west side of Spartanburg, we ideated The Artist’s Bungalow. We wanted to help visitors experience all the charms that Spartanburg has to offer – and to offer the perfect haven to spend the night. We hope that, in the comfort of our abode, you love Spartanburg as much as we do.
