MYSTERY: What and where is this structure?

16.0704.mystery

Right off the bat, we know this Mystery Photo may be a tough one.  What and where is it?  (HINT 1:  It is not in downtown Charleston, but is somewhere in the three-county area.  HINT 2:  We have written about a project in the last three months that houses this structure.)  First person to correctly guess where it is wins a pair of vouchers to a RiverDogs game.  Send your guess to:  editor@charlestoncurrents.com

16.0627.mystery_averyTHE PHOTO in the last issue proved to be much more complex than we realized.  No one got the correct location of the Anthony Chapel at Garvan Woodland Gardens outside of Hot Springs, Ark.  But four people got it almost right by identifying sister buildings.

Susan Frohnsdorff of Charleston,  George Graf, Palmyra, Va., and Chris Brooks of Mount Pleasant each guessed the image was of Thorncrown Chapel in Eureka Springs, Ark.  This chapel apparently inspired the chapel near Hot Springs.  D.J. Emerson of Mount Pleasant suggested the Mystery Photo was of another related chapel, the Mildred B. Cooper Memorial Chapel in Fayetteville, Ark.  Click on the links and you’ll learn about the architect, E. Fay Jones, and see the similarities of wood-and-glass architecture that make these buildings magnificent.
