Our previous Mystery Photo
Our Dec. 20 image, “Wonder what the story behind this is?” shows “Place of Peace,” a former Japanese temple moved to the campus of Furman University.
Congratulations to these sleuths who correctly identified the photo: David Lupo of Mount Pleasant; Jay Altman of Columbia; Jacie Godfrey of Florence; and Frank Bouknight of Summerville.
Altman said the temple originally was built in 1984 and donated in 2004 to furman by the Tsuzuki family, who maintained residences in Greenville and Nagoya, Japan, for many years.
Lupo shared that “a more extensive 2008 article in the Spartanburg Herald-Journal notes that the building is no longer formally a temple since the sacred shrine was removed by the family that donated the building to Furman.
