The look and feel

The design of BridgeWay Station was inspired by Italian and European architecture, with structures modeled after Italian landmarks, and artifacts from Italy embedded within the brickwork of some of the buildings.

Greenville’s history has also served as inspiration, with historic structures like the Southern Depot Station tower being replicated in the open air pavilion. The original tower, built in 1905 on Washington Street, was demolished in 1988.
