The Working Benevolent Temple and Professional Building, also known as the A.M.E. Working Benevolent Temple, is a historic landmark located at the corner of Broad and Falls Streets in downtown Greenville, South Carolina. Constructed in 1922 by the Working Benevolent State Grand Lodge, this three-story steel-frame brick building served as a central hub for African American professionals during the segregation era. It housed offices for Black doctors, lawyers, dentists, insurance firms, a newspaper, and Greenville’s first Black mortuary

Beyond its role as a professional center, the Temple was a focal point for civil rights activities in Greenville during the 1960s, providing a gathering space for organizing efforts and community meetings. Recognizing its historical significance, the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.

Today, the building continues to serve the community and stands as a testament to the resilience and contributions of Greenville’s African American population. It is featured in the city’s Black History Tours, which highlight significant sites related to African American heritage in Greenville.
