Gettys Art Center History

•Constructed in 1931-32 as the United States Post Office and Courthouse, the Federal Building

•The Federal Building was the most accomplished piece of architecture in the City. It was later renamed the Tom S. Gettys Center in honor of Tom Gettys, postmaster from 1952 to 1954, who later represented Rock Hill in the United States House of Representatives.

•In 1971,A much larger post office was constructed in an urban renewal area at the edge of downtown to replace the Federal Building.

•In 1986, the City of Rock Hill purchased the building from the United States Postal Service for $280,000. The building was added to the national historic register and housed the local Congressman’s office, the York County Convention and Visitors Bureau, and the Rock Hill Arts Council.
