A reader sent in this pretty distinctive building somewhere in South Carolina. What is it and where is it? Send us your guess – as well as your name and hometown – to feedback@statehousereport.com.
Last week’s photo – “Green monster” – showed an outstanding, world-renowned topiary garden by Pearl Fryar in Bishopville.
Jacie Godfrey of Florence tells us: “When Fryar and his wife were looking for a house, they faced racial discrimination. Residents of the neighborhood worried that a black couple wouldn’t keep up their yard. After they bought a house, Fryar was determined to be the first black man to win the coveted “Yard of the Month” award from the local gardener’s club.”
Congrats to everyone who identified the photo, including Jay Altman, Elizabeth Jones and John Hart, all of Columbia; David Lupo of Mount Pleasant; Mark Partin of Sumter; Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas; Frank Bouknight of Summerville; Bill Segars of Hartsville; George Graf of Palmyra, Va.; Faith Line of Anderson; Pat Keadle of Wagener; Don Clark of Hartsville; and Wayne Beam of Clemson.
>> Send us a mystery picture. If you have a photo that you believe will stump readers, send it along (but make sure to tell us what it is because it may stump us too!) Send to: feedback@statehousereport.com and mark it as a photo submission. Thanks.
