Located on the old Indian boundary line in Greer, South Carolina, Wood's Fort served as the first line of defense against Indians for the pioneers in this area and was commanded by then-captain Joseph McJunkin. The fort also served as a shelter for the surviving pioneers during the Hampton Massacre of 1776 in this part of Greenville County. At some point after the massacre, the fort fell out of use by the state militia and the land it sat on was sold to a man named Elisha Thompson. He then renamed the blockhouse Thompson's Station. Nothing more is known about the fort after this.
This small building was the original location of Marchant's Pharmacy before it moved to the famous corner Greer Drug location. Though we do not yet know the exact dates of its location here, it appears in a photograph from about 1904. In the photograph, Marchant Pharmacy appears on the right of the Post Office; that building is now Smith & James. The building to the left of the post office was W. M. Miller's Jewelry Store; that building no longer remains, having been replaced by the larger structure that now houses Chelsea's and Cafe on Trade [2023].
