Built in 1904, the station is currently home to Amtrak and to the Spartanburg Convention and Vistors Bureau. A 1996 fire gutted the interior of the station; much of the credit for its survival goes to then-16 year old Trey Davis, a Spartanburg native who initiated a campaign to save station in the week after the fire.
