Here’s an old South Carolina building that is sure to have a lot of stories in its past. Send us your guess of what and where this photo is – as well as your name and hometown – to feedback@statehousereport.com.
Last week’s mystery photo, “Clue” shows the exterior of the Pat Conroy Literary Center in Beaufort, which Elizabeth Jones of Columbia shares “exists to educate and inspire a community of readers, writers and teachers in and beyond the South Carolina Lowcountry. It has been designated a literary landmark by the American Library Association. Founded in 2016, the center began in the 700-square-foot house where Pat Conroy spent most of the last years of his life. It later moved to a nearby 3,000-square-foot renovated bank building where it exists at 601 Bladen St.”
Hats off to her and others who identified it, including Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas; Steve Yarborough of West Columbia; David Lupo of Mount Pleasant; Barry Wingard of Florence; Michael Webb of Hartsville; Jay Altman of Columbia; George Graf of Palmyra, Va.; and David Taylor of Darlington.
- 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.
We Can Do Better, South Carolina!
