Local architect Harold Kaplan employed classical symmetry in a modernist design to lend formality to his two-story tan brick Greenville Police Department and Municipal Court (1958) at 216 Main. An aluminum louvered screen shields its centered glass portico from the southern sun. Next door, a green tile, pent roof gives the two-story Fire Station No. 1 (c. 1927; 218 Main) a more informal Mediterranean ambiance. One block away at 340 Main, the two-story red brick City Hall (1920, J. Scott Rice) presents an imposing entrance portico with its four full-height Ionic columns.
