Here’s another old building in the middle part of South Carolina. Recognize it or figure out where it is? Send us your guess – as well as your name and hometown – to feedback@statehousereport.com.
Last week’s photo, “Old building,” was a 1933-era photo of Tocaland, an old plantation near Winnsboro in Fairfield County.
Here’s what Jay Altman of Columbia found out about it via Wikipedia: “Tocaland is a historic plantation house located on S.C. Route 344 near Winnsboro, Fairfield County, South Carolina. It was built about 1854, and is a 1+1⁄2-story, weatherboarded frame Greek revival style dwelling on a raised basement. The front facade features four 8-foot high stuccoed granite piers that support a pedimented front porch. The porch is supported by four paneled wooden pillars, pilasters, and has a plain balustrade. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.”
There were lots of guesses that the house was in Greenwood, Berkeley County, Florence County and points in between. But others who correctly identified it were: George Graf of Palmyra, Va.; Pat Keadle of Wagener; David Lupo of Mount Pleasant; Elizabeth Jones of Columbia; Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas; Frank Bouknight of Summerville; and Penny Forrester of Tallahassee, Fla.
