The Museum
The historic Almira College House, constructed in 1855, serves as the museum facility for the Richard W. Bock Sculpture Collection.

In 1892, the institution was renamed Greenville College, and the house passed into private hands.
In 1962, the house was reacquired by the college and served as a residence for college students. Today the home has been reconstructed in keeping with the graciousness of the 19th century that provides a complementing environment for the display of the Bock Collection
